Default Solution to LS1 with No Power Steering?

I made a post on v8rx7forum when it was still up, a guy post pictures of a setup he uses... but I didn't save the pictures.

It was one of a guy using a 6 Rib Pulley (above the alternator) and some belt from Advanced Auto Parts. Would be great to find it within a week and a half because my car should be finished by then.

Found a pic and labeled how the guy did his setup, I need to know what size pulley and belt was used.

I removed the power steering on my car and also took out the idler pulley under it. I'm running a 51.5" belt but couldn't tell ya what the part number is

It scares me that it is barely touching the water pump.

One guy said he had been running for 2 years like that though.

Update :

Guy just posted the picture over on norotors.com

i can't imagine how it would be like to steer an f body with no p/s and 275 tires up front. you would have to ask the passenger to help out

The belt # you need for NO power steering and NO idler is 5060525 Dayco Belt. You would also have to remove or grind the top Alt bolt......

So there's no harm in running without that idler pulley and without the top alternator bolt? I am considering doing it your way. Please let me know. Thank you.
