you can buy a standard water pump like for an 82' vette, and put a shorter belt on. That is what people have been doing instead of paying $300+ for pulley setups.
old style WP and belt probably still less than 200, and cleaner engine bay, and less weight.
don't know about the intake, but I think it has like 9+ inches maybe (not sure)

What? C4's did not come with T56's from the factory. Did someone swap one in? I highly doubt it. If it really does have a T56, I wouldn't swap it for a ZF, but that's just me.
I'll trade you a ZF if you want to swap, though.
