Thinking back on yesterday --- I didn't like 33kg tension on a cold new alternator belt, so I added one more 0.7mm shim in between the halves of the alternator pulley for 1.68mm total and ~50 lbs tension. Much better.






Also, I thought the spacer on the AC compressor adjustment bolt was a little too long --- I swapped out the 7/8" spacer for a 3/4" spacer, and now it looks better --- more adjustability if needed.

I too have the deep offset wrench for the AC compressor but I also did the spacer and it’s a great improvement.
