When you say flip the alternator around and shim it with washers what I think you meant was to flip the old generator bracket around.

I did try this on a recent conversion I helped a friend with so I will add this update.

Take the old generator bracket off and flip it end for end then rebolt it to the block using the same holes.
You will need a piece of all thread rod to fit the alternator mounting hole about a foot long and 4 nuts and washers.
Install the all thread rod in the bracket and let it run long toward the front. You will want to have put nuts and washers to hold this rod in place in the bracket and put the alternator on the piece of rod that is running long to the front of the bracket.
It will look like this when you have it installed properly.
From the front..............
Nut; Washer; Alternator; Front ear of bracket; Washer; Nut;............. Nut; Washer; Rear ear of bracket; Washer; Nut.
This set up should put your belt in the correct alignment. The top adjusting bar fit right up to the alternator adjusting bolt it is just on the rear side. No problem.... install the bolt from the rear through the adjusting bar and into the alternator.

Hope all this makes sense. If not some one let me know and I will try to explain it better or get a picture of what it looks like.
