Need Help with A/C compressor belt adjustment

I need to tighten the belt on my old school Frigidaire A6 A/C compressor. I can loosen the adjustment bolt on the front bracket, but I'm not sure I am loosening the correct bolt to pivot the compressor. Which bolt(s) should I be loosening to move the compressor? Any tricks on which way to move it? Thanks.

Re: Need Help with A/C compressor belt adjustment

OK - I got it. Loosen the two top bolts on the mounting bracket from the intake manifold, loosen the adjustment bolt on the front, loosen the lowest bolt on the rear bracket, lift up on the compressor with one hand, (grunt), tighten the rear bracket bolt with the other hand, tighten adjustment bolt, tighten two top mounting bracket bolts. Done.
