Belts? Good idea. Go for it. Just don't get them ones with the notches on the outside. They just don't look right on these old cars.
Also, Al, be very careful how you use them scary 4 words- "While I'm at it"

Figure if I have to loosen all the brackets and take the other belts off its time and money well spent.
Now if that alt belt was in the front it may be a different storyLOL
