Default Changing Pulleys from V to Multi V?

Currently I have my 3 Door setup as standard with single V pulleys and belts.
But it keeps throwing and flipping them over at high revs (a common problem i'm lead to believe)
Can I just change to multi v pulleys and belts like the 4x4 setup but keep the orientation of my PAS Pump and Alternator as standard 2WD?
Will they still line up?
Can can you tension normally with the PAS pump and alternator lever action rather than fitting a sprung tensioner?

Cheers Rich

Is it the offset of the pulleys so they wont line up?
