Engine threw it's belts - serpentine conversion

Was doing some high rpm runs and the engine decided to throw it' belts. I do not like V-belts much, so I'm looking into a change.

What is the best conversion/kit on a C3 that doesn't cost a fortune and doesn't run the pulley in the front crossmember or has you displace the accessoires ?

Thanks

I would say the late 80s F body set up. Caprices used them too. easy to find parts at the junkyard. just have to do a few mods to make it work (fuel line, radiator hose, etc.)
