WTB: "B" Eng 2-Groove Crank Pulley

I'm running a 383 in my '65 W200, and I would like the added security of a 2 belt drive for the alternator and
water pump. The alternator and water pump both have 2-groove pulleys, but the crank is a 1-groove. I don't
want to put the 4-groove pulley back on (who needs all that extra weight on the end of the crankshaft), and all
I've been able to find, in the way of 2-groove pulleys, are the kind with the outside groove about 1/2" - 3/4"
larger diameter. That would be OK if it were driving something else, like a PS pump, but it would be a real trick
to equalize belt tension where they both drive the same pulley(s) (i.e., the alternator and the water pump), there
being only one adjustment pivot (i.e., the alternator).

Any suggestions, other than going out and springing $180 for a matched set of March pulleys?
