Simplest LS accessory belt drive?

I'm looking at putting an LS364 in my 68 vette. I only need the water pump and alternator for the accessory drive.
I've found a bracket for an alternator only belt drive, but would then have to run an electric water pump. I could use this bracket to run the water pump in reverse, but I'm guessing that wont work.
What is the simplest belt drive system to run only the water pump and alternator? Also let me know if it works on the high alternator mount (vette) or low mount (camaro/firebird).

I did this--it uses f-body setup--fixed Idler, tensioner, water pump and f-body alt down low, thats all. If you want the belt # let me know.

Ionize
It looks like the belt wraps less than 1/4 the way around the crank and water pump pulley. I was not sure if that was enough to keep it from slipping. A couple questions:
1) Did you use the stock f body alternator mount?
2) Is the tensioner mounted on the passenger side of the block?
3) Is that an LS364 that came with the manifold?

I've had the car to 6700+ rpm quite a few times now, no slip issues or tossing the belt, etc.
The mount is a stock F-bod mount.
Yes tensioner is on the pass side.
Motor is a '01 Z06 stock shortblock with rodbolts, heads and cam. Intake is GMMP, yes from a LS364 Crate motor setup
Have fun!
