Default help: serpentine belt tensioner location

im trying to replace my alternator right now, and im not sure where the belt tensioner is, i think its the screw that is sort of below and behind the power steering pump?
a picture would be greatly appreciated if possible.
please help
edit: its a 92 sc300. new to piston engines; other car is a rx7.
edit again: seems the belt tensioner is actually on the front of the engine..how do i loosen?

figured it all out, the belt tensioner is on the front of the engine, and is a diagonal facing piece with a pulley on it, 14mm nut on a 1/2 drive, push it clockwise to ease tension enough to slip it off the fan pulley and alternator!
search does wonders!
