I had an alternator belt throw just last week. But I was at a car show Wednesday night and saw a very sweet 69 Chevelle with what looked like a wee little idler pulley or idler wheel installed to keep tension on his alt belt. Very boffo looking but I'm sure he did not put it on there for looks alone - the rest of the car was all business.

'66 396, no A/C, PS or PB. New Goodyear Gatorback P/N 15565 slipped off 5 times in four miles - not fun. flipped it the other direction - still slipped off. Had proper 1/4" belt flex tension between fan and alt pulleys. Lee Autoparts system matched belt with year/motor type. Length and width are the same with Goodyear having a slightly wider "V" design then the Napa belt that I was replacing. Lee Autoparts guy gave me full credit on the Goodyear belt - good guy. Now going back to Napa belt." UPDATE: Took the Goodyear Gatorback off and put a new Napa belt on and it has been fine.
