However paired with the Overdriven Alternator pulley, thats matched with the Underdriven Crank pulley, do those not cancel out making the final belt length the same? Just shifting some of the mass to the Alternator instead? I thought that was the point?
Yes, assuming no diameters change, he'd be fine.

But the worthiness of a lightweight pulley is, likely, almost nil...lol. Generally the purpose of swapping to an underdrive pulley is to reduce the amount of energy sent to your accessories.....so why would you then put an OVERDRIVE pulley on your alternator?
