AC Compressor removal

The clutch on my ac compressor started smoking. Mind you that this was in econ mode, so the clutch should not have been engaged. I'm planning on replacing the compressor. Since the serpentine belt and pulleys were replaced not that long ago, I'm hoping to avoid making a tensioner holding tool, and the whole fender liner removal steps.
My question is if I can take tension off the belt, slip the belt off the ac pulley and then release the tensioner. I know on some cars that if you fully release the tensioner they over extended and are useless there after.
Second question- what would cause the front of the ac compressor to smoke when not engaged? I don't want to replace the compressor only to have it fail for the same dumb reason.
Thanks,
Mike
