Serpentine/Accessory drive options...

I feel like I'm probably overthinking it, but I've noticed a ridiculous amount of combinations of drive systems for the LS. Seeing that I'm new to the platform, I need someone to shed some light on this...

I'm doing an S10 LS swap w/ my LM4 block punched out to 3.905", running 243 heads, and a TBSS intake.

Is there a decently priced, complete kit WITH A/C that will work for me?

EDIT: I was looking at this kit ---- https://www.jegs.com/i/Chevrolet-Per...55066/10002/-1

There are actually three (3) basic accessory spacings- short (Corvette), medium (98-02 F-body), and long (truck and 10-up Camaro). All others fit within these spacings.
Holley, Kwik, Dirty Dingo, LSSimple, and others (including GMPP) have accessory kits from just brackets to the works (accessories included). Check them all out, and you should find something to fit your situation.

You have to be careful on your choice when installing in a S10, Low mount A/C compressors will need the frame notched to clear. You also have to be careful with the drivers side configuration because you have the steering box. I used gm Modified LSA Accessory Drive kit but I'm also running the LSA supercharger. You'll probably find the info you need on the S10 forum they have an LS section.
Here is what my setup looks like.
