Good news everyone! Finally fixed the pulley walking. I added some angle to the idler pulley and the walk went right away. Maybe it was the problem all long. Took it for a quick drive around the block, but didn't have time to get too good of a test of the belt since it's mid-day traffic currently.
The only problem now, is I'm getting a slight bit of noise in the AC12 motor pulley. Probably from where the shaft had to be ground on. I plan to fix this by simply drilling and tapping the end of the shaft and having a bolt hold the assembly in place with an extra sleeve that the pulley guy made.
One last thing. I realized only JUST NOW that the pulleys are not lined up from the factory. They're spaced about a rib apart between the crank, power steering, and alternator. I wonder if this had something to do with why I couldn't get them to line up properly, as I was lining them up based on a straight line between the 2 pulleys and carrying it on.
