Default What are the Spec Drive Belt Tensions?

What are the specified tensions for the drive belts on a 93 Del Sol Si (it's the same as 92-95 Civic EX/Si)?
I need the tensions for A/C, P/S, and Alt. belts

How are you going to measure the tensions?

Hey, thanks for the diagrams. I measured the tension with a straightedge and a ruler. The guy at the auto parts store said 3/8-1/2" so i tensioned them to right in between those numbers. No more squealing.
