Default alternator trouble

hey everybody! so, i discovered my alternator was failing after hearing some weird noises coming from the pulley on the alternator. when I took it off, the pulley was hanging on the shaft by a thread. anyways, i took my alternator to a local rebuilder and he told me i was better off buying a new one for $135 after he assessed the damage. so, i go to pick it up today and the rebuilder bought me one for the N/A instead of the srt6. my original is a valeo and so is this one, but the pulley only had 6 grooves. so, he put a new 8 groove pulley on the new alternator, but it is somewhat bigger than the original pulley. will this add extra stress to the alternator or anything else? also, the new alternator has a B1 and a B2 terminal on the back, whereas the original only had a B+ terminal. my car only has 1 wire to go to a B terminal and the plug that clips in the hole. is this a problem? what should i do with the B2 terminal?
