Tightening the AC pulley is an easy one man job. If you're standing at the rear of the bus looking forward at the AC compressor, you should see its mounting arm on the left. There will be three nuts/bolts on that bracket. Two will be horizontal, one pointing forward, one pointing aft. The third will be vertical. That vertical one is the adjuster. Loosen the two horizontal ones, then turn the vertical one. I can't remember which direction tightens and which loosens, but you should be able to tell after a couple turns. Once you've gotten the belt to the desired tension, tighten up the two horizontal bolts/nuts. That one is now done. I believe the power steering is the usual "loosen bolt, pry pump until desired tension is achieved, and retighten bolt." I've done it by myself, but it's not as easy as the AC or the ALT. Sean B.
