SC belt install

I was just wondering if there is a trick to installing the serpentine belt on the supercharger? I tried to change it the other day but the tensioner was hitting on the A/C compressor. I didn't want to force it off and then not be able to put the new one on. Do I need to loosen up the A/C compressor to get a little more movement or is that it and I just have a real tight fit to get the belt on. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If it matters my car is a 91 SC.
 
Just work the belt off. You will be able to work the belt back on. Take the jack shaft belt off first, that way you will be able to rotate the SC pulley to help work the belt back on. The reason it's so hard it because the belt is short.
