99 Breeze Alternator Belt Tension

How do you adjust the alternator belt tension on a 99 Plymouth Breeze 2.0 L?
I've followed the instructions in the service manual and all that does is
pull the alternator toward the front of the car to the limit of the bracket
travel. It does not adjust the idler pulley at all. I have about 2 inches of
slack in the belt that does not adjust out. Guidance needed. Thanks in
advance.

From your description (I haven't worked on a Breeze), is it possible
you've got the wrong belt? Years and years ago, I bought a belt that
turned out to be mis-labelled...
