Tensioner question Ok, I searched, and read a whole bunch about the tensioners/changing the tensioners/etc but there's still something that's not quite clear to me. What's the difference between the AC Tensioner and the Main Drive Tensioner?
If I need to change the one on the top passenger side (the one I use with a 15mm wrench to change the belt), would that be the AC or Main?

Ya, I went to advance auto parts online, but their "main" tenioner looked more like the bottom one, and their "AC tensioner" looked more like my top one, that's why I was still confused. Thanks guys.
as far as the a/c tensioner it is PN 12560345 from GM and it cost me an arm and a leg.....like 80 bucks
