Default Accessory Help...need PS, Alt and crank only

Ok so I've been searching but can't find an accessory setup to run just power steering, alternator and the crank. Anyone have a lead or ideas on the subject?

The end goal is a turbo lq4 with remote electric water pump for a rear mounted radiator and only running power steering pump and alternator off the crank.


Any help is appreciated.

not sure which water pump you are running, but the Kwik Performance setup for truck has alt and ps on the driver side. It would work with truck or 2010 camaro pump.

I've only seen alternator/WP and alternator only setups. You're probably on your own.

Depending on the setup, a turnbuckle tensioner on one accessory may work.

Couldn't you use the f body PS location and one of the alt only brackets:

Just wrap the belt around all 3, tighten with the alternator.

Another option im thinking of is to run a stock water pump and have a secondary inline pump next to the rear mounted radiator to help with flow. Has anyone heard of or have experience in something like this?

From all I've heard, the mechanical pumps move more water above around 5500 rpm, so that may cause an issue, plus the added complexity doesn't seem to be practical.
