Help with Accessory Drive -- What should I buy sbc 350 S10 swap?

I'm finally crying uncle! I've sat down three separate times trying to solve my accessory drive problem, so I'm turning to my trusty armchair experts.

I have a 1996 c1500 sbc350 going into an S10 frame. My craigslist find turned out to be a dud when the seller gave me random accessory drive brackets and bits for the SBC 350. I also have the power steering pump from my S10 2.8l v6.

An aftermarket serpentine seems to be insanely expensive for the brackets and bits. I'm trying to keep costs down.

I thought about going V-belt, but the price of getting all new pulleys and brackets seems to be about the same as if I were to find the right serpentine system parts for the original C1500 truck engine.

My final idea was to just get on rockauto and find all the original pieces that are supposed to go with the accessory drive. Use the alternator I have and get a water pump (I accidentally already bought a clockwise rotation pump and installed it only to find a serpentine uses the reverse rotation ones )

So I'm humbly asking for help. What route makes the most sense?

In the garage I have:
Alternator with serpentine pulley
Power steering from the S10 2.8l v6
Really nice aluminum water pump that probably spins the wrong way
The correct bracket for the power steering side (gm 12554522)
The correct bracket for the alternator side (gm 10236997)
None of the attachment hardware, tensioners, belt, idler, etc...actually not even sure if I need any of these

I'm actually stuck for the first time in this project
