I don't see why not, I'm not sure what the belt size would be. Lots of folks run different pulley setups. I'm one of them. 
I have the Greddy Pulley set with a Unorthodox Main Drive R Pulley. Since I have removed power steering and the A/C it works great and looks pretty too!!!

Ah, but us NE folks should be okay. I noticed my temps went up a few degrees, not all by much. My car use to run too cold anyway, when I get my Koyo/Evans and Vented hood it will be back to normal.
Besides if you do a lot of Auto X or road racing its great cause you won't fry the waterpump at high rpms.

Any problems with the alternator not charging the battery adequately with your set up?

So far so, good. My PFC says 14.0-14.4 at cruise and dips down to 12.6 or so and up at a stop with my fans on, lights, brakes, upgraded radio, etc..
I was concerned about this at first because I have a gel cel behind the drivers seat in the storage compartment.
But it seems to work very well so far.
It also cleans up the engine bay, when I get home I will take a few pictures.
Also Unorthodox's website says that the ultra R pulley is going to be discontinued soon. I had to order it from them, but if you plan on removing you PS and A/C its a great pulley.
I've heard that it can add anywhere from 5-15 hp to the wheels over the regular pulley kits, because its about 1/2 the size and weight.

Garfinkle runs an unorthodox main drive with RP alt and water pump pulleys, no problems . Unorthodox put a steel sleeve on there shaft to prevent wear , if you order from them ask about it .
