I don't know if you've figured this one out yet, but my go-to is to pull the newer serpentine setup off of the early 90's GM trucks. It's just two big cast aluminum brackets that hold the P/S pump, alternator (driver's side) and A/C compressor (Pass side) as well as the idlers and tensioner all built in. I don't know how your local yards work, but my local Pick-n-pull only charges around $80 for the brackets with accessories attached. I usually buy a new A/C compressor though for around $140 from Rock Auto. You will need a Torx set to remove from the truck in the yard though, in case you are going to get one.
