The belts may be a little snugger than 1/2" deflection. I read 1/4" somewhere else so that's what I went with. The AC belt may be a little snugger than necessary right now, but I'll play with that again when it's time to use it. For now, I'm just glad the job is done.

The 3x 19 mm bolts just need to be loosened a few turns, not maxed out. The only one that needs to be maxed out is the 10 mm belt tension bolt, which allow you to swing the compressor all the way towards the crank pulley so you can get the old belt off and the new belt on.
