I made an adapter out of 1/4" aluminum and a aftermarket pulley.

do a search.. this has been asked before..I recall that you don't need a pulley.. just get a shorter belt and route it differently... and keep searching with different words.. you will find your information.

I found this https://ls1tech.com/forums/archive/i.../t-489665.html
and this picture on the thread..

that wont work very well at all. there is barely any belt at all on the water pump. right now i am trying to figure out if there is a bracket i can use to move my alternator up to about where the ps pump goes. the alternator want to occupy the same space as the steering box in the el camino.
