I just picked up some AEM pulleys and i have a couple quick questions,

What is the stock alternator output rated at?
I dont plan on having a audio system but if i do, if i put a higher output alternator, will it accomidate for the loss of a larger pulley?

You should be fine, cause I have the same AEM pullys for the Alternator and Power Steering.

The headlights do dim a little during idle. I don't have a sound system also, just a Car Pc. You won't notice the headlights dimming with HIDS, but I'm running normal halogens so you can tell.

I've had one OEM alternator fail and one HO alternator fail while I had my AEM alt pulley installed. It may just be that I'm superstitious, but I no longer run that pulley, only the PS pulley.

i have the UR pulleys...i think some people say its bad to change the crank pulley b/c of the harmonic balancer and the whole underdrive thing.

just sell off your aem and get a UR set lol

my friend who had them on his mustang raised my idle a bit so the battery doesnt die on me when im warming up or not driving the car... it helped because it was idling a around 500 after i put them in, and now im back to regular idle 800
