I previously ran two belts to alternator and water pump.  Once I added the smog pump for a vacuum source, the geometry forced me to either give up dual belts on the water pump OR the alternator.  I figure I wanted the water pump working more than the alternator.  So only one belt on the alternator.   
 
Hi Ed,
 
It is indeed the water pump that I'm worried about.  I can live without the alternator for a while, but the pump needs to keep running.  I suppose I might also be able to fashion some sort of idler pulley for a second belt to the water pump, but it's probably easier to modify a dual pulley to fit the alternator.  
 
Cheers,
Rusty (off to fix my brakes)
