[V8] Serpentine Belt

[Tony and Lillie]

I replaced both of the idlesr on mine when I did the serpentine belt. You 
don't have to remove the fan. However, if you don't have the manual, make a 
drawing on how the belt is routed (or look at one of your other cars ;-). 
When I first did mine, I had about a foot of extra belt. The routing made no 
sense to me. But, once I got the manual out, I understood it completely.

As for the tensioner, I've never replaced mine, but if it seems weak, maybe 
it's time. I think I'd do the belt first, though. Also, your regulator can 
be replaced on the alternator, usually it's the brushes that wear out.
