HUGE install problems...help!

SO I have sent KB pictures of the problem, hasn't got back to me yet, so I am dead in the water right now and a dyno appointment looming. But here's the deal, besides having to rethread some bolt holes, I finally get to the point when you put the belt on, and after having to turn the blower as we are threading the belt on the blower we notice the blower pulley and the alternator are not aligned, as in the blower is further back. Not only that, but the belt on the blower is rubbing the alternator itself and the belt on the alternator. And there is a bolt to the right of the crank pulley that is sitting on the belt as well. I am boggled, me and my buddies- who are mechanics- can't see what the hell is going on. any ideas? btw the alternator is bolted on the only way it can be, so as far as I can tell, that's not it. This is on a 1997 cobra with stock 6 rib underdrives, KB 2.1L 9psi
