the pulley that puts pressure in the ps/ac belt.

The power steering pump is used to apply the pressure for the A/C and P/S belts. The alternator is used to apply the pressure for the alternator belt.

wrong!!!! on the 2nd gen. there is a tensioner with a pully. i went to the junk yard and got one today, the whole assembly. i noticed that the stud that the tensioner pulley is on (not he tensioner) is a torques type bolt. the assembly still has to come off to replace it.
