Here is a simple device by Chuck Aulger that can be made to use a threaded rod to adjust the A/C belt tension. One end is bolted to the A/C unit and a 3/8" diameter threaded rod with a short 90 degree bend that sticks into a hole on the A/C adjustment bracket. I made it by drilling the threads out of a 2" long "coupling" nut and welding a short tab with a 3/8" diameter hole drilled in it. Only requires removing one bolt to attach the device. No drilling or modifications required on the vehicle. Sure beats using a pry bar to tension the A/C belt.
