Default Supercharger Accessory Alignment

I have a Mag TVS2300 on a truck offset. I want to make up to 15lbs of boost. I am told by others that I should run a dedicated blower belt system so I don't overwork or overtighten the accessory belt/bearings, etc to minimize belt slippage. LSA alignment seems to be an answer but there is no one that I know that makes a truck to LSA conversion pully for the blower. You can find them all day long for the other way - LSA to truck (guys get LSA blowers and add them to their truck/Camaro). Could have one custom made but that's not easy either - have to come up with all kinds of measurements which is a little intimidating. Could I just run the accessories on corvette spacing and then use a crankshaft spacer and then a separate crankshaft blower pulley (8-10 rib) to equal truck spacing? I do not have any of the accessories yet. There are 2 companies that make an accessory drive that they will alter to fit but they are beyond my budget (close to 4K).

By the way, I am not very knowledgeable about accessory drive alignment and will welcome any suggestions.

Thanks

Yep, they say just go with Camaro accessories and a single belt system (since there is not much option unless u want to spend $$$$). Most everyone else says that it will slip including the makers of the upper scale accessory drives and performance people.
