Default A/C making belt flop

I was going over my jeep today, and noticed that everytime the cluth would kick in on the compressor my belt would look lose, like it was floping. When the clutch would stop the belt went back to normal. The belt is tight on the jeep, my concern is that kind of wobble in the belt is going to wear my bearning's out in the other pulleys, where i notice the belt being lose is where the belt is going to the alternator to the harmonic balncer, any ideas would be great, also i wanna say thanks to this awesome forum for letting jeep owners help each other!
