Well I just got a tensioner pulley and put the belt on, but when I ht the AC switch in the car, the compressor clutch doesn't kick on, nor does the second, electric fan. also, the light on the AC switch doesn't come on. I'm guessing I didn't get it wired up?

You hit on a couple of things really. One thing to check, if the clutch for the compressor didn't cut over, is check your wiring. Make sure you have it done right. Then using a magnet, try to trick the clutch into cutting over. Your compressor may be bad. As far as the lights not coming on, well, if it's in the thermostat control, it could be the LED is out or it could go back to the wiring.
