I'm running all the 8 rib pulleys except for the alternator, I'm running a 6 rib belt for now. It works with any combo as long as your belt isn't too wide.

See below. The damper is not a balancer like on some other cars. It's just there to dampen, not to balance. If you use an unbalanced damper like a plain ol' pulley without all the extra weight and rubber (these exist but are hard to find) you can cause severe engine damage from what I've been told.

There you go. I'm using the stock 8rib crank pulley, all the 8rib tensioners and a 6 rib alternator pulley (stock hehe). My shizzle works great.
