That's the way I did mine, and it worked out fairly well.  Only downside was
that the big bolt had to be taken loose to install a new belt.

Also, with my Ford Motorcraft alternator, I had to cut down it's mounting
foot, to get the pulleys to line up properly.  No big deal, but when it
finally wore out, I had to either cut the new one or transfer the old front
housing to it (which is what I did).

Check any "speed shop", they usually carry a variety of such items in chrome
plate.  I used the original, flattened to fit.
