I know of a lot of people who have had success with the yahoo belt...I am not one of them. In addition to being a complete SOB to get on, I was running them for 3 months, and in that time I went through 4 of them. Granted, they're not like, precision belts or anything, so there is a bit of variance between belts, but I would run dual full belts so you don't get stuck somewhere with a snapped belt.
Or you could do what I did and order gilmer pulleys.

you dont need the dual alt pulley. Ive been running w/o a smog pump for years w/ onle one pully no problem. As long as your a mostly stock application and not tunnin anything crazy your just fine with one belt.

I run a 3L220 Lawn mower belt for mine, works fine, it looks loose but works great. A 3L210 should work too, but I've never tested these. The dual alt pulley I find has less contact on the water pump pulley, also it seems to constantly need readjustment and I find the 3L220 or yahoo the better way to go.

I ran my 7 for 2 years on just a single belt for the alt and water pump, had no problems with slipping
I do use the RESPEED dual alt pulley now that i switched engines and got some goodies, It's a lot cheaper than RB or Mazdatrix

i think if you still have the stock fan, you should have 2 belts. if you do not have the fan you can usually use just one belt.
one belt plus the fan is a bad idea though.

stock fan, single belt no water pump issues ever.. If ur fan clutch is bad then i could see it being a issue. Re-speed also sells the pully for pretty cheap you can get it from them.

If you get a dual-belt pulley for your alternator, you can run two of the normal e-shaft/water pump/alt belts. I'm running an FD Alt with a dual-belt pulley and it works great. Then again, I have an e-fan, so I probably wouldn't have water pump slippage issues on even a single belt like the folks with clutch-based fans would.

While we're talking about this - I used a 3L220 on my 12a and it fit well. 3L210 is too tight. On the 13b I've got now the 3L220 looks quite loose, I haven't run it enough to find issues yet, but the 3L210 was much too tight as well.
