Default Mid-mount alternator?

Anyone ever run a mid-mount alternator?
I'm considering moving my alternator to the passenger side mid-mount and running an aftermarket power steering pump midmount on driver side. My current driver side head-mount alternator setup rests against my valve covers so it limits valve cover choices. Can't space it out since the belts are inline with it resting on the valve cover.

Think I'd have to get different crank pullies with this mid-mount alternator?

Any thoughts?

i have seen that happen with the tall valve covers on a SBC , usually a longer belt fixes it on the SBC not sure of the soloution on a BB.

A wise move would be to use the parts from a early 67-68 Camaro BB parts that would match up with the Vette parts.
