Drove the car a bit but it wasn't going into boost without some serious throttle so I bought a 2" shorter belt to make up for the difference in pulley size from the supercharger and the removed a/c compressor.
It hits boost easier with the shorter belt but has a tendency to kick the belt partially off (until the idler pulley guard stops it). After a few days of investigation I've discovered that my alternator must be the culprit; every other pulley seems to be aligned properly and spin straight but the alternator has a clearly noticeable wobble when spun by hand.
I'll probably replace that next since it's 23 years & 165k miles old. I just replaced one on my wife's 07 civic SI with similar mileage 2 weeks ago for ~$100 with an advance auto coupon so I'm hoping I run into another deal like that for the mustang
