Ac v belt please help

My ac belt keeps jumping but only when compressor is on.. I don't want to tighten it anymore because I've broken 2 from trying. I have a 305 with the setup of alt to water pump to crank to alt. power steering to crank to power steering, and ac to power steering, to crank, to water pump, then ac. What's wrong? Only thing I can think of is compressor may need to be shimmed up a little?

Maybe the pulleys are not aligned right. Also when you say you broke two, do you mean two compressors or belts?

Belts. But it was a weird break it separated the "tread" part and top part of belt. I may need to shim the compressor
