Im guessing thats the case but not sure if i can get it tight enough with the small pulley and not sure how i can get the right size belt for the new pulley.... Are the pulleys hard to remove?

I got the pulley off the old alt and the pulley wont go onto the new alt. The old alt has an AEM pulley on it so ya its a light weight pulley. Does anyone know what USDM engine would have the same belt for the alt?

I went with the 91 integra belt and that worked fine.
