I finally found an alternator belt that works with the 3G alternator that I installed. The belt that I originally installed
sheared off after only 2,000 miles because it wasn't a great fit. The employee at AutoZone near my house was kind enough to look through his inventory to find a belt that would be a better fit based on length/width rather than by year/make/model.
Ultimately I needed a 40" belt with a 38 degree angle that is 0.41" wide (10.414mm). It was part
#15400 and was only $4.99.
I don't get to drive the car much these days, but in the time that I have driven it I haven't had any belt-related issues. The belt seats nicely in the pulleys.
