I tried using the 2.0's tensioner before I bought a new one ( I have a '96 BTW) but it has an alignment tab that the '96 doesn't have. I ground it off and put it on anyway but it didn't tension the belt right. I was suspecting an alignment issue. When I look at the belt while the engine is running to see if it's pulling, I see a slight wobble in my crank pulley. It doesn't seem to be transferred to the rest of the belt but you never know. I've been putting off removing the pulley and reseating it since it's such a PITA but I may have to. When the tensioner was new it was rock solid while running but now that it's started to squeal again, I can see it rocking in time to the noise. Thanks for the advice, but I think I'll hold off on the compressor as long as it's still blowing cold. I don't think there's anything wrong with it since I had no problems before the swap. Thanks again
