Every time I turm my AC, I noticed a shake in the engine as soon as I accelerated. As it turns out, the serpentine belt vibrates wildly when the AC is on. There is evidence of a belt that had broken before I got the car, and I've already replaced the belt once because it was damaged. Is this more likely to be the belt tensioner, or the AC compressor?

Would go with tensioner as most likely
