Default 5.3 basic questions

Hi guys I Picked up a 5.3 And have a few basic questions trying to figure out my easiest route. This going in 98 camaro turbo project

Now The motor I picked up doesn't have any accessories etc I wont be running power stearing ac.. Now Only thing I have on the motor is the truck crank pulley. I will be running a ls1 intake mani if that makes a diff.

What is the cheapest most least painful Accessories route Get the Ls1 water pump spacer and ls1 water pump idler pump and alt bracket ? thanks in advance
