Default Pulley system help

I am wondering if there are more simplified pulley systems out there. I am running a 6.0L block in a '68 Camaro. I will not have power steering or A/C. It will need to run the water pump and alternator only. Is anyone running an alternator bracket which pulls the belt tight similar conventional old style v-belt systems. Or will I need to run the tensioner? I believe the 6.0L block is missing a mount hole which LS1 blocks have- correct me if I am wrong there. I will be using Camaro style water pump and crank pulley/balancer.

Check out MARCH performance,they make belt and serpentine systems,and you can buy any single bracket that you need, for instance you only need a bracket for your alternator and a tensioner,you can get that from them.I just recently purchased a serp system from the for my 78 vette and the fit was right on.
