When I rebuilt my alternator (turned out not to be the good idea  I'd 
thought it would be), I found that there were a variety of shims already 
under the alt. pulley which were probably original.  So, looks as if 
it's clear to shim away.  I messed with mine to get it more in line with 
the pulleys already in the car.  Probably part of the reason I kept 
eating belts....
