I never though of putting the belt on the AC compressor pulley last. Guess it is more convenient that way. I alway compress the tensioner using the breaker bar, the same way to loosen the belt but now with the belt looped except leaving that part on the idler next to the alternator loose. While I use my right hand to hold on to the bar to keep the tensioner compressed, I crouch down to use my left hand to fit the belt over the idler.
