The easiest way for you to do what your wanting to do will be A)buy a complete serpentine belt setup from gm which runs about 750 but it comes with an ac compressor,new water pump,alternator and power steering pump or find the same setup used from a newer truck and pull everything from the same vehicle. Option B) is to find a stock setup from a 67-72 and get everything from the same truck. The issue is that gm used A LOT of different pulley and bracket configurations. If you don't get everything from the same vehicle there is a really good chance you will have alignment issues. Personally I like the serpentine setups because for 60k miles or so there is 0 maintenance.
