Thanks Rod, Yes, both the new Crank pulley and the existing crank pulley have 3 holes.

I had to go check a pic of the engine and check the pic from Balmar.

Rod, would you have the model # of the Alternator that I purchased from you?

It was most likely a CMI/AMP-It 105-ER? Without your email or last name I have no way to look it up. Is it silver, black or white??

Brit...

Checking in on your project.  I am super curious about how it is going.  I am about to purchase my ws500 regulator.

Update.
The kit arrived complete.
I was able to easily remove the Coolant pump pulley.
Could not remove the Alternator pulley - took it to a shop that replaced it with the new one
Was able to remove the out pulley from the crankshaft ( not used or required ) but new pulley would not fit over the old pulley as per the design.
Removed crankshaft pulley took it to a shop and had them turn it so that it would fit.
Everything installed and found that the belt with the kit was too long ( alternator would stick out of the access door in the head)
New belts are on their way.

I have heard of many of the challenges you experienced with other people that have installed it.  I am impressed you got the front pulley off.  I have always imagined that to be "rusted" in place.  I am specifically curious to know about the clearance at the water pulley to the front steps and engine cover.  This has always looked too close for a serp belt conversion.  Let us know how it goes.
