Default Aluminum water pump pulley?

Does anyone make an aluminum water pump pulley for the LS1? I know Edelbrock makes one for their LS water pump, but I'm not sure whether it fits the factory water pump.

Any ideas? An aftermarket water pump isn't an option for me.

Why do you want an aluminum water pump pulley? What benefit is there to it? Not trying to be smart, honestly curious.

Weight reduction. I'm running the car in the SCCA's E Street Prepared autocross class. I'm currently rebuilding the engine and while I'm at it, I'm looking for any ways to save weight that fit within the rule set.

This car is built nearly to the limit of the rules--I've hit all the major things for weight reduction, so now I've got to think small. It may sound silly to try to save half a pound on a pulley, but half pounds add up to several pounds if you look hard enough.
