Default 99 Z28 FBody, need alternate manufacture idler pulley PN

I need to replace my idler pulleys. I'm just going to knock all of them out at once. I've already replaced my belts and I have an annoying squeal that gets worse depending on RPM's.

I have a 99 which uses the old bracket (Im assuming) and unless the bracket has been replaced I cant use a 00 and up pulley.

What are the pulley from Autozone, O'Reileys, or Advanced can I get to work with the following pulleys:
Accessory Drive Idler by the alternator. (especially since I have a 99)
Accessory Drive Belt Tensioner Pulley.
The Idler Pulley's for the A/C system.

Are the idlers on the AC system the same pulleys from 98 - 02? or did they change aswell in 99?

The only change was to the main drive belt idler pulley, in which you are correct that the bracket changed and therefore requires an updated pulley design as well (this change happened in the middle of model year 2000).

The A/C tensioner, A/C idler, and main tensioner are all the same from '98-'02.

I don't have alternate part numbers handy because I've always used GM replacements.
