I just bought one for $85.00 today.
Could we trouble you for a measured drawing, or an annotated photograph?

I exhumed my engine assembly and got a 8x8" can to compare. The stock generator/cooling fan shaft is 3 1/2" from centerline. The fan plate is 10" in diameter; I don't have a generator, but they must be about 6" in diameter.

The coil, fuel pump and distributor would have to go, but a crank fired MSD ignition and electric pump are an upgrade anyway, and they offer mounting opportunities for the serpentine belt system. The most likely interference would be the electrical junction box and the arc of the stock cooling fan. A Type III cooling system could be easier but would sacrifice either the stock exhaust system or bodywork. Here's a serpentine belt retrofit. It's belt and tensioner are lighter, but it shows which side the idler pulley would go on.
