How in the heck do I replace the A/C belt on a '74 spider? There is an idler pulley that I can access from underneath the car, but it doesn't seem to have spring tension on it like a normal idler pulley.

The pully on my 84 is a two piece pully with spacer rings for belt tension. When you remove the pully bolts the pully will seperate and you can remove the belt.

Are you referring to the crank pulley or the A/C compressor pulley?

Turns out there's a locknut on the idler pulley. (it was kind of hidden by anti-sway bar) Loosen it up and pulley swings in normal idler fashion, belt popped right on.
