Bracket belt routing question

So I am in the process of setting up my rebuilt motor.I am wanting to use my original water pump and crank pulley. The power steering waterpump and crank pulley line up. I want to avoid using the smog/alternator bracket. I bought a low mount alternator bracket, the issue is one grove lines up with all the pulleys on the alternator pulley, the other grove is off on the crank pulley.

Ways to fix:
1). 3 grove alternator pulley (I feel the length would put stress on the alternator bearing as I would be using the outer grove)
2) use the smog/alternator bracket, and deal with the, ugliness.
3.) run the a belt around all 4 pulleys like in the picture (I dont know of the issues I might face (not going to race or rev high rpm) (also there is a belt width mismatch)

what are other opitions?
