That tensioner on the Atom is a standard Gm part. It is the same one that my 09 NA has on it. They made up that idler bracket above the alternator to get rid of the A/C compressor.This is the Atom's version. Notice it gets rid of the A/C compressor but using a different tensioner system! Also a much shorter belt that has the ribs only on one side. Not only is the tensioner different but the idle pulley is positioned outboard of the alternator.

I'll see if there is any GM part numbers on those parts. It is a neat way to do away with the A/C compressor! (Once I figured out how the belt was actually ran!) Sorry, no parts numbers visible and the bracket for the idle pulley was custom.
One thing I just checked on, the alternator is being driven counterclockwise as opposed to clockwise on the stock setup. I don't think it matters.
From what I can tell by following the belt it should still be turning the alternator clockwise.
