Glad ***** mentioned power steering. I went electric on my C3. Had too much going on in the accessory area.

The pulley arrangement will take some thought, the picture attached isn't what I currently run.
I had to add an idler above the tensioner because at high rpm it would toss the belt.

What did you do about thermostat? Run one an online one in the upper hose or in the lower hose?

The Davies Craig setup comes with a pwm pump controller that you can program which is really nice.
You can select the activation temp for the water pump as well as the fans and since it uses a sensor for water temp, a thermostat isn't required.
For my setup the water pump kicks on first and cools things off a bit, then one cooling fan ramps in, then the second if needed.
It's also programmed to run for a few minutes after shutoff knocking down heat soak or if you need to cool down between rounds.
It's a pretty slick little setup.

Sounds pretty cool. I was looking at the pump, controller and the old LS hose kit but looks like they updated the connections to the block with this massive ugly brick. I would prefer the old style setup as I feel thats way more low profile. I've tried searched on the net to no avail.

The brick is ugly, I thought Summit had the kit I have.
You could always reach out to DC directly, they're great to work with.
