Default Awful serpentine belt squeal after alt. relocation.

I am finishing up a turbo build and have moved the alt to the upper pass. side. When I measured for a new serpentine belt I just cut the old one and measured to 69". While running the motor has a horrible squeal. I have sprayed the belt with water to see if something is out of alignment which doesn't really help. Just noticed the tensioner is bottomed out so I need a smaller belt. How much smaller should I go? 68.5" 68"? If anyone has advice I would like to hear it. I don't want to get so small that it is impossible to get on. Thanks, Alex
