Take it it's a multi-V belt? I've Got this problem, only mine has about 5mm of clearance - just enough to slip a belt through sideways. It rubs like a bitch when taking left turns hard though.
If you got a different alty mount you'd only be able to move it on one axis so the bottom pulley and (possibly) PAS pump are lined up with it.
I keep telling myself that I'm getting single-V pullied stuff to stop it happening, but it's quite expensive and a bit time consuming to do so I've never gotten round to it.
But if it's so far over that you can't get a belt through it sounds like a fucked mount/s. Post up a pic if you can.
