Default 59 AB fitting in a '35 Pickup

I have a tired 59A in an otherwise stock '35 Pickup. I am looking at buying a 59AB motor from a seller 400 miles away. I know the fan/generator arrangement is different with 2 belts and the fan mechanism being unique to 46-48 59AB design and not bolted to the generator like the stock '35. I recently rebuilt the 35 generator and would like to keep the cleaner look. I know 34 radiators tilt back a bit. Has anyone stuck the 59AB with the lower mounted fan and double crank pulley in a '35 without clearance issues? Id be happy to ditch the 59AB fan set up and just transfer my old generator/fan set up. I wounder if the extra pulley would be in the way. It would be easier if the motor was down the street where I could measure it and not 400 miles away. Thanks
