The pulley kit enlarges the water pump and the alternator to prevent slippage so I would assume it may work, but could be detrimental in the long run.

found out that the belt i need is 29.5 in long



the difference between the radius of each pulley is only about 1/3-1/2 inch... so hopefully thats not enough to cause a lot of slippage.
