What alternator are you using to replace it (rebuilt?)
The problem may not be with the car or the belt, but lousy rebuild
quality... I've seen friends go through 4 or 5 AC compressors before they
demanded their money back (cost alot more than original cost due to lost
Freon) and got a NEW unit and never had problems again... YMMV
