Default Electric water pump / pulley? Help Help Help!

I have a problem. I am dropping a 383 stroker in my 79. I bought a CSR water pump, and I need to find a set of serpentine pulleys for my whole set up. I have AC and power steering. Does any one run this setup? Or does anyone know of a kit that would work? Thankyou!!

Contact these guys, they have one for a set up without air and might be able to help you rig something up for you air. Me I would just run a mech pump to make life much easier.

The only thing I had to do when I put my electric water pump on, was to put an idler pulley on the lower front alt. bracket to keep the belt off the pump. It took a 52" belt with a 2" pulley to make it work.

Pics of this setup would be great. What kind of serpentine sys did you use? I've thought about going electric on my water pump, but I won't give up my AC living in Ga.
