I know, this is being ridiculously ****, but a fellow 968er has graciously loaned me his P9021 tool to use to tension my balance shaft belt, but I figured that as long as I have it, I might as well use it for the alternator/AC belt as well, but I haven't been able to find the spec in the workshop manual. Anybody know what it is? Thanks.

Cloud, I think you mean special tool 9201. I have a little book called Porsche Technical Specifications Types, Dimensions, Tolerances. For the 968 and 968 CS. On page 36 verbatim.

Shoot, the computer compressed the information. The number values should be a ways to the right. Sorry, I hope it makes sense.
