Hi Van, Don't know why (not smart enough), but if the alternator is mounted on the left side of the engine and is driven directly from the crankshaft, the tension on the belt does not need to be as great.

When they are mounted on the right, they gotta be tight. Remember the old days? We didn't hear much about slipping alternator belts when they were mounted on the left engine side. Only when they were moved to the right side, did this really start to be a problem. Allan
