Default HELP!!!!!!!!! A/C Belt Replacement - Without Tensioner

Swapping cam, get to the A/C Belt removal before removing crank pulley and I do NOT have a belt tensioner on my A/C belt. I plan to put on a Ud pulley once the cam work is finished so should I just get the belt off any means necessary and then buy an ideler pulley for the A/C belt or what is the trick here?

Help a brother out!

Sounds like a plan. From what i see on SLP's website there is only one accesory belt listed, so my truck would need a tensioner regardless to utilize the pulley and have A/C.
