Default best way to run alt w/ electric water pump??

Hello!
I have 5.3l and I also have an F Body alt bracket. I'm going to be running a Moroso electric water pump, also no power steering or AC. So only thing on the belt drive will be an alt. Any advice or ideas on how I can run the alt alone and still have a belt tensioner?

Where does it mount? Do you know the name or model of it by chance?

Badass! One thing, I did notice it says for aluminum blocks only? Why is that? Mine is iron block.

Maybe because iron blocks don't have mounting
hole, just put the bracket there mark it drill
and tap.
