$300 plus you still have to get the correct air compressor, alternator and power steering pump. If it were me I would just keep the v-belts, unless you fell you just have to have a serpentine belt.

depending on your intentions for the car i would probably get rid of the power steering too, to save a little more and to free up some extra ponies.
