I would think that using a small motor for light accel assist and leanburn assist a standard v-belt would be ok.

So where would this motor go? You may have header clearance issues if you try and mount it where the AC used to go.

I think the best thing to do would be to relocate the alt to the front of the engine and rig up the motor on the rear. The alt would also be much easier to un-belt.

Maybe add a ac style clutch to the motor so you wouldn't waste any energy spinning it up when not in use.
