Default Adjust power steering pump belt

Hi all.. just wondering how I adjust the tension on my power steering pump belt. 1988 Dodge Ram Van, B-250, 5.2/318. Hard to see because is at bottom front of engine . driver side. It has been squealing on turns and I noticed the belt is really sloppy. PS it is not the newer one belt design (serpentine?) ..its the old school type .

Thanks

You have to access the adjustment from under the engine bay laying on your back looking upward as memory recalls. It's been too many years since working on one to replace the PS pump.
