Engine Serpentine Belt Issues

Hello All,
So I put in a rebuilt AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l L in my 1983 CJ7 and now the serpentine belt keeps rolling off at the fan/water pump pulley, and the alternator is slightly crooked and further back than the other pulleys. I have tried various things like adding washers in places that looked like they were needed, new belt, nothing helps. All the mounting brackets, power steering pump, A/C pump, idler pulley, vibration damper, and water pump pulley are from the original 4.2 L. Has anyone else ran into this issue before, or does anyone know of an inexpensive way to align the pulleys?
Thanks
Bob
