I'd blame the AMM before the AIC for you idle issue. The AMM controls idle settings before the O2 sensor warms up, so if it's only a problem when cold that's most likely the issue. They go bad regularly; I've had good luck with getting used ones for cheap and rebuild are available. You need the 005 (others fit but don't work). Also check very carefully for vacuum leaks and that the blow off valve holds vacuum
Tightening the belt is easy. It's a manual system unlike later cars. As others have said, check the crank pulley.
I carry a spare belt (saved my butt once when a zip tie broke and shredded it), spare ignition module, a couple spare hoses and hose tape. An ECU, AMM, or senser is very unlikely to leave you stranded. The fuel pump is a trouble spot bu hard to change. I'm thinkig of doing my preventatively.
Good luck. It's good to hear that there are nice, low mileage early 9ks still out there.
