47-55.1 Belts with short water pump - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hi - finally getting some progress on my 50, which has been a years-long project. I am using a 1960 235, so I bought the short water pump a while back from Patrick's. I'm also updating the alternator to a modern 12V job, and putting Vintage air in.

Looking at the pulleys, the crank pulley, alternator and A/C pulleys are wider than the water pump pulley. How is this most easily solved for so I can belt these up and get this engine running?
