It's maybe how you ran the belt around the pulley's . Double check it using the below screen shot.

^^^^ I keep a printed version in my glove box in case my O.L.D. kicks in. And an extra belt. It looks trivial until you get in a tight space and start that puzzle.

So it was late when I was working on it last night, so I will check the belt route again, but I'm pretty sure I had it right. Also, I just replaced the idler pulley, maybe 3 months ago.
Just to verify, so there's no adjustment to the alternator and/or the ac correct? Because besides pulling the supercharger out and taking the bolt out of the tensioner that attaches to the supercharger I didn't mess with anything else belt related.
When I get to work, after my coffee, if I'm still having issues I'll take a picture and post it so show the route and so y'all can see. -
Well I figured out the belt issue, but now that I have everything put back together, my idle is ridiculously high. Like bouncing between the 1500-2000 rpm range. Any ideas?

What was the belt issue?
Plugs, wires or coil.
It's it out and run it for a little while and let it get warmed up. -
The belt issue was that I was tired/an idiot and was routing the belt the wrong way lol. So I let the car warm up to normal OT because I wanted to get the air out of the coolant hoses still the idle is high. And I didn't have this issue before so it has to be either a gasket or vacuum line. Just have to find which one.

^ This. Either a sensor or a vacuum line is disconnected.
