I dont think the 16v engines have a tensioner, so you need to fit another. I think you need to take off the crankshaft pully, but can be done by stretching it over the pullies while turning engine over by hand (from crankshaft), how I did mine recently

i dont do mine very technically.
i undo the lower mounting bolt use a bar to lever the alternator as far as i can and tighten the bolt up 
works fine but aint half dodgy
