Is there any sign or indication of a belt that is too tight? Is that 1/2" with firm pressure to the middle of the longest run of the belt? Is it normal if the alternator moves a little on the bushing when you push down?

Yes, the p/s belt is pretty well buried down under the block/hoses. The reason I didn't replace the p/s belt (or go to the trouble of doing it) was because I had spent 2 HOURS getting the damned alternator remounted after inserting new bushings. SUCH an annoying job, the bushings wouldn't line up and I kept hitting the metal center bracket with the mounting rod... argh.
