I have run this setup on two cars without issues. Others have done this as well since the original AC pulley bearing became hard to find. The flat pulley in the picture works well with the top side of the belt. The setup in my last photo came with the car when I got it. Ipsco.com now offers the original style bearing and pulley and I can use that if needed. The photo above is a closeup.
