Tom just go out and look at your car. TAKE SOME WRENCHES. If you have the correct alternator mount and power steering mount, it does not have any bearing on the length of the belt and the alt position in the upper strap slot. I have A/C and the strg brkt is quite different than the non A/C mount but the angles are the same as a non A/C unit. Until you actually move the alt in the slot, and find you are not gaining ANYTHING, you will not have a grasp of the situation. The orbit of the alt IS NOT MOVING like the orbit of the p/s pump. The short belt/long belt is totally wrong. It won`t make any difference. Your not seeing it. Your not getting it. The only way you can adjust for 2 different lengths of belts on a power steering car is move the power steering pump. Maybe with A/C is different but not according to a donor car I have with p/s only.
