Serpentine belt routing options for alt. only ??

what would be the best/cleanest way to run the serpentine belt,if Im only running the waterpump and alt.? I dont want to use the big brackets that came with my 90 TPI TA because am not running Air pump,AC or power steering.
Does any company make a bracket to mount just the alt to the motor? Any ideas are welcome.
Thanks,
Don

Some of the older 3rd gens had a dual belt system. A serp belt hit the crank, water pump and alt, while a v-belt hit the crank, a/c and power steering. I just removed the power steering and a/c. Now the serp belt only drive the alt and water pump. I looks a lot cleaner too. I want to say I got the setup off an IROC, but I don't remember.
