Depends if you run wide multi v belt setup or run single V, some people need the single V to clear the chassis leg.
I personally run multi V using the standard sport (with no aircon or PAS) setup with auto tensioner.

Mine has plenty of space, Best thing is to suck it and see!
Edit, If ya want il find a pic of the clearance on mine.
