Default Front Accessory Setup

I picked up a 2003 LQ4 to swap into my '66 c-10, and I'm trying to figure out which front accessories I need to run.

Right now the truck has the water pump, crank pulley and a tensioner; I need to find a power steering and alternator setup (A/c is not of concern)

do I need to find the corresponding 6.0 truck accessories, or do I have freedom to source this stuff from f-bodies, 5.3 trucks etc?
I searched and remember reading something about the pulleys needing to line up, but I tought that was mostly if you used any 'vette stuff?

Thanks in advance.

you can run them from whatever setup you decide, but they all need to come from the SAME setup. I would look in the "parts classifieds" section, there are always wrecked cars getting parted out, and you can score everything pretty cheap. Just my $.02 though
