Are you running R112 or R134? What year? Is the compressor kicking on?

Did you accidentally unplug a vacuum line? when you turn it on do you hear a click when the gates open? is the clutch engaging?

Re: Belt on compressor to tight?

there should be no relevence if the belt is too tight.. the belt will stretch some.. Im guessing wither you have loosened or disconnected the compressor wires or you have another problem within the system
