Assuming the spring on the tensioner is good, and the tensioner moves freely when it's lock nut is released, then follow the green book advice.
Install the belt, start the engine, idle it for a few minutes. Shut it off, then pop the plug out of the timing cover and release the lock nut, and then tighten it again. Repeat at 500 miles or so.
That's all you have to do.
