I took a few pics of what I'm dealing with. You can see the alternator wants to lean backwards, due to the top bracket pulling it back. The top bracket is not adjustable, so I really don't know how to get that lean worked out. It's throwing the belt alignment off.

Usually I take really good pics before I take things apart, but wouldn't you know it, I didn't this time. I think the belt was always out of alignment, so I don't think I created the issue.

Does anyone see anything out of place? I have a little spacer, about 3/8" thick, designed to slide over a bolt. It came out of the car, but no matter where I put it, the alignment gets worse.

I also snapped some pics of numbers I found on the alternator and PS pump. Just for informational purposes.
