Tom,

If you look closely on the compressor, you will find a belt tension
adjustment bolt to the left hand side. It is perpendicular to the
compressor shaft on a bracket. Before you make adjustment you should
also slightly loosen the two nuts on the same bracket which the
compressor is secured with. This two nuts are penpendicular to the
adjustment bolt. Adjusting the tension on the compressor is a breeze
compared to the alternator. Go easy on the tension adjustment though.

For an '87 2.1.  I don't see this in my Bentley.  Can someone please
explain how the A/C compressor is adjusted to tighten/remove the belt?

Thanks,
