Default options to tensioner

going to be be using an alternator and water pump only but figure I'll need a tensioner on the passernge side to get enough belt wrap in the water pump. any ideas? I have a stock idler mounted in the pics but it's too big and will hit the lower radiator hose. It looks like it would hit the throttle body or upper hose if I moved it to the other water pump bolt.

Where is your stock tensioner? You just need a tensioner mounted on those two bolt holes there.

licked up a stock tensioner for an fbody from advanced auto and looks like it should work.
​​​​5.3, f-boy water pump with spacers to work with truck balancer and 145a alt.
now just gotta find the correct belt.
