Default Ac/smog pump removal

I have a 1989 C4 that is going to be a dedicated track car. I want to remove the AC and smog pump. does any one know of a kit that will use a smaller belt and have the pulleys needed. I don't want to install pulleys that replace the pump and ac pulleys in the same locations it just looks clumsy. I would rather it look like they were never there. not looking for a cheap way to do it but a way that it looks like it was engineered that way.

You can do like this, requires a shorter belt, a CW rotation waterpump (I used one from 1982 vette), and a way to use the generator as a tensioner.
