Congrats, You're on the way.

By the way, NEVER attempt to install the alternator with that hose off.  The hole 
in the bottom is directly bleow the place where you're going to be holding that 
nut at the back of the alternator bracket, and if it falls...

Ask me how I know.  :(

For the pulleys:  I'd suggest that you measure the width of both.  If the stocker 
is wider but the belt fits properly, I'd say that you're probably fine.  If the 
belt DOESN'T fit properly, then you'll want to change the pulleys across.  This 
isn't as bad as it seems, since my 100A alterantor didn't even come with a pulley. 
 I just used the one that came off of my alternator.  It took very little time at 
all to change, just that one large nut on the front, and something to keep the fan 
from turning.
