Ended up just using the tensioner pulley and idler pulley and got a new alternator.

Yeah I was gonna go with the Gates kit from them but in the end decided to go with OEM. All the other pulleys and the other goodies i ordered will be here today from McGeorge and my friend at the local dealer gave me wholesale price on the belt and tensioner, Its not quite as good as employee price like I used to get but I appreciate him helping me out.
Since the alternator didn't have the spacer (since i cut it off) the pulley wouldn't spin freely once tightened down which burned a bit off the belt but it still looks ok so I'm gonna leave it. Hopefully that's not mistake lol Im gonna keep the old one and my ratchet in the back just in case.
The #2 idler pulley is screaming at me.
