I had to try up to 3 belts to get a perfect fit for custom AC brackets on my 1960's Mopars, due to estimating length w/ rope, varying length definitions, and limited swing on the compressor. But most cost <$10 and oops go in my V-belt box. For the M'-B alternator, always but a matched pair.
Again… only on the turbo v-belt alternators… the N/A uses a single belt…
