Default Can Someone Help Me Get Correct Tensioner

I have a 5.3 in an S10
On the drivers side Im running LS Brackets High Mount Alternator / Low Mount Power Steering Bracket for Truck Accessory Spacing
In The Middle I have truck crank pulley and a LS2 Water Pump with Spacers
On the passenger side I plan to run A/C in the future but for now I just want to get the truck running, tuned, and tweaked with no A/C

I was wondering if there is a stock tensioner I can run in place of the A/C for now?
I tried a factory truck main drive tensioner and it hangs out 3/4" too far forward (Im guessing due to the waterpump spacers and the LS2 pump.
Will a corvette tensioner work?
Do I need to buy some sort of delete/relocation kit to do this?

TIA

The A/C runs on a separate belt from the other accessories. The tensioner is on the passenger side head. In your case use a truck tensioner.

The A/C i will be running will run on the same belt as everything else.
I currently just need a tensioner for my main drive however.....
this is what I'm going for .... but I have an LS2 waterpump
