Belt Alignment is this an issue? 200

posted by  someone claiming to be D-SD on  Fri Mar 8 13:15 CST 2013 [RELATED]

I'm getting ready to do my first timimg belt and was going over the car for other parts to order to maximize shipping cost. I was planning to change the various drive belts as well. I'm sure I have more questions when I get into it, but as I was inspecting the belts, I noticed that they all seem slightly out of plane relative to each other. For exaple the Alternator is perceptively torqued inward on the passenger side, the A/C compressor looks torqued inward on the drivers side, and the power steering pump looks like it's pulled downward toward the A/C. Unlike my other cars you can actually see all of the belts at once, an the "twisted" effect looks really odd! Is this "normal" or do I need to plan on doing some accessory bushing replacement to get things to line up?
