Paul,
You might want to look up the threads for larger pulley on the alternator. The original design with the dual belts is extremely prone to slipping. The problem is not enough wrap on the alternator pulley. Some have solved this issue by putting a larger diameter pulley on the alternator. When you do that it won't charge at idle, but easily charges at running speeds.
From your earlier comments, I am assuming you don't have the serpentine belt setup with idler.
