You know, I don't remember the part number, I'd have to look at the receipt. I'm guessing it was the right one or the old one I had on there was the wrong one also. I matched them up when I got the new one to be sure. You know how it goes with getting parts. You will sometimes get a bad one. In my line of work that happens all the time and it gets annoying every now and again. I suppose those of you in the auto repair industry find the same thing.

On a new note. I took the Hoe to the shop today to get an "expert" opinion. The response was:
Your compressor is seizing up which is causing the tensioner to bounce all around. They produced a TB from GM that says they know of this sort of problem blah, blah, blah and that the end fix is just to replace it.

Sometimes you got to go with the people who know, but the stubborn in me wonders if there is some way to tell for sure it's that and not the clutch slippin or even worse an electrical problem. Anyway I called around and the kits gonna run around 3 bills in parts, my labor (I think I can) and whatever the cost is to evac, leak check and charge. Hopefully I don't make things worse.
