Noticed an uneven wear pattern on the belt it threw off, would the alternator not being in line with the rest of the pulleys cause this? https://photos.app.goo.gl/cnvFv3QWuXWHaan57

Not sure if it's original the part numbers on old belts were pretty legible. https://photos.app.goo.gl/s9vVvo2wNFgsmjFBA

I have more room to pull the ac towards fender on the bracket, my concern was getting the belt that runs the ac too tight. You have a lot more clearance between your alternator bracket and your ac compressor than me. I wonder if my alternator needs to come forward 1/4 inch for the bracket to clear the lip on the side of the ac? On a side note I love this little car it shredded the belt so alternator stopped spinning but not water pump, every light came on on the dash, but it still drove 15 miles on the battery.

I got the ac belt on and it looks titties, nice and tight, however the alternator belt wont tension more due to bracket hitting ac compressor. And I cant stretch that ac belt anymore. The bracket with the square hole in it is the issue currently. Is this mounted properly? https://photos.app.goo.gl/MNjyn6wg6KrxFrhs5

The alternator is inside the ac. From drivers fender it goes battery, ac, alternator. It was the shorter of the two belts. It was on the car for about 3 days. Just waking up and I'll go take some pics.

First post, and not very experienced with forums so I apologize if not in proper place. Replaced the water pump on my girlfriend's ea82 3at loyale with ac, and in my haste to disassemble and replace the failed water pump i did not pay close enough attention to how the alternator belt was tensioned/aligned. Ac belt is tight enough however i cant get enough adjustment out of alternator as i run into the ac compressor while trying to get tension on the belt that turns alternator. Does anyone have pictures of an ea82 with ac on battery side of alternator for reference, or know a trick to getting it tight? It shredded the belt tonight after about 375 miles and I want to put it back together properly this time. If anyone has any experience or insight it would be greatly appreciated.
