Default Alternator Belt

I'm trying to make a custom alternator mount. Like everything on this build, it'd a PITA.

There's really no room anywhere for the stock Coyote alternator. So I'm mounting a mini 80A racing alternator where the AC compressor used to be. It's a tight fit, but I think it will work.

The alternator has a V belt pulley. The Coyote, of course, does not. Can I put a standard V belt over the Coyote serpentine pulley?

I'm thinking the answer is NO, it will allow the belt to walk, and throw the belt off the alternator pulley.

Second question is, where can I find serpentine belts listed by lengths? I only need a 32" belt. Something close to a stock AC belt would be about right.
