get em.

what you'll want to do is get a different alternator. like a 75 amp alternator. get a smaller belt and dont route it around your smog pump. so then not only do you have smaller pulleys, but now you have less rotating mass with no smog pump.
That's what comes stock, go w/ a 130 amp and you'll be okay. The 94+ stangs have 130's stock, so get one from a salvage yard. If you can't afford the alt., get the pullies and just hold on to them or sell them and make some money.
