Kevin,
I am running an ASP underdrive crank pulley. It's 5.5" in diameter,
the stock pulley was 7". I did have to change to a shorter belt. The
whole idea is to slow down all the accessories you list so you get
more power to the ground. I have had mine for over 10,000 miles and
so far no problems at all. I cannot tell a difference in charging,
steering, cooling, or A/C performance.
