ummm, I'm not sure of the setup on the early cars, But on my 85 w/AC (the 
same as the 84 I think), there is only one belt (other than the timing 
belt) that goes on the crank. It drives the WP and the AC. The AC then 
has a dual pulley, the inner of which drives the Alt. Cars with PS use a 
second belt on the crank to drive that system.

If you swap in an offset WP pulley but keep the crank pulley the same, 
how are they still in line? Are you running the belt on the -other- 
crank pulley?
