I can't remember if '85 had the flat multi-groove alternator belt like '86-'87 or not. Shouldn't matter, though.
I assume you don't have AC or A.I.R. The power steering belt only goes from crank to PS, not around the water pump.
Sounds like you have an alignment or pulley mis-match of one sort or another.

i can see that my crank pulley isnt lining up quite right. what coudl cause this? i used a 305 timing cover and harmonic balancer and i got it on as far as i could. maybe its not far enough?

Perhaps. Can you see any shiny metal between the balancer & cover in front of the front seal?
