Looking for any advice.

Here's my project. I'm putting an '83 5.0 in my 67. I'm taking off all the a/c and power steering which leaves me with 3 points to run a serpintine belt (alt/fan/crank). The problem is that year came with a reverse rotation water pump. I overlooked this and put on the correct (reverse rotation) pump and non-ribbed pulley which doesnt work with a 3 point setup. Now I either need to put on the ac eliminator bracket with the original tensioner. Or switch pumps and buy a ribbed fan pulley and fan. I think I may have to also try to mount my alternator lower so the belt has more contact with the fan pulley (which I don't know if I can do with my braket I already bought).I think the 3 point setup would look better than running an extra pulley to the tensioner which I dont think is even necessary.

I'm just figuring all this out and thought someone else had to have gone through this and might have some insight.

Whew...is anyone still reading this or understand my delema?
