There are options. If the angle proves feasible for the belt run but not for the tensioner to maintain tension, perhaps the tensioner could be fixed to position and tension set manually.

If running the ribs on a smooth pulley causes a problem, perhaps a grooved pulley could be mounted without too much difficulty.

Nice thing is, it appears the power steering system could be left completely intact if for some reason wolf wants it hooked up again.
