Here is my experience. My dad ran one of those rigs on a BBC for several years. It was a pain in the arse! When you got it tight enough to not fly off, it would destroy the alternator in less than 500 miles. So much was the problem that he would carry one spare in the trunk, one in the garage and one being rebuilt. You read that right 4 alternators! Admittedly, his belt was longer, but it was a nightmare. I convinced him to swap it for a vintage air serpentine system and it’s been trouble free ever since.
