83 305 engine v-belt routing. Which pulleys?

Hi,
For a 83 Camaro with these accessoires : alternator, PS pump with 2 grooves, and a/c... Without Factory smog pump (CAN version)...
Do you have pictures of the belt routing? Which Water pump pulley I need? Double Row or triple Row? My single Row seems to not work actually.
All pulleys are for v belts... And i have 3 groove of m'y crankshaft pulley.
I never had a/c and want to install one, thats why im wondering...

Here is a picture I Seen on internet... I want the same installation but not need the smog pump.

Which GM part number I need for the Water pump pulley? Probably a 2 groove, but it seems There is different models and the groove are not at the same place for all 2 groove gm wp pulleys... It would be Nice to have a picture of optimal Water pump pulley to find the right one at the junk yard. Ideas? Do you have aa clear pictures of v belt routing? Right here on the picture (second one) im not sure if There is 2 or 3 grooves on water pump pulley including the groove for the smog pump. Also, the first picture Say There is 4 tracks, so i assume the CS pulley and WP pulley grooves are offset?

So I need to find the right number of grooves and also the right offset for WP pulley...

My car has a/c and no smog-deleted that long ago-water pump pulley I used was off a ~1982 chevy pickup and same as v-belt 3rd gens used,except does not have the small front pulley for smog-just 2 grooves of same diameter.Crank pulley should have 3 grooves of same diameter.Any chevy car/light truck~1978-early 1985 SBC with R4 compressor should have correct pulleys.I could get a pic of my setup and or P/N of W/P pulley if needed

A pic of the setup would be Nice! Especially the fan pulley.

Re: 83 305 engine v-belt routing. Which pulleys?

I have some numbers for you that might help. I do not have the number of the 2 V groove WP pulley, though.

From my 84 Trans Am: 4 V belt setup
WP 1403 7740 has 3rd groove for air pump
Crank 1402 3143 3 grooves

If you were to convert to the mixed V belt and flat multi-ribbed for the ALT setup (ALT on pass side):
WP 1408 8685
Crank 1408 8683
