You have to shim the pulley or get a different alt pulley. 

I did the same conversion on my GTI... I removed the pressed in washer
inside the pulley, I then had it welded to the back of the pulley.
Then I used 2 large alternator washers ti line it up with the other
pulleys.

It's a real tight fit btw, at least the way mine was "clocked". 
The +12 stud is very close to the lower radiator hose, in fact I grinded
the +12 stud down once the cable was secured.
