How close to "aligned" does a belt need to be?

Looks like I might have found a way to use the 140 Amp Power Master Alternator. I will need to build some spaces to move the old bracket forward about 5/8" and modify an portion of the valve cover lip to eliminate interference with the alternator. Looks like the belt is very close to being straight and in line. I still need to get replacement pulleys as I will need a double grove crank, and a single grove water pump. I will only be using one of the alternator groves though, so I might wear out or slip belts under high alternator loads. The 2nd lower grove on the crank pulley will operate the Power Steering Pump, that I will have to build a new bracket for to mount it at least 1" higher than it did on the '74 Trucks.
