Ayuh,.... All you need besides the belt is the accessory pulleys, their bracketry, 'n the crank pulley....
It shouldn't run much over a Grand or two...

There is so many nuts and bolts of it that add up very quickly when new. So much so that you may be better off finding a junk 4.3 that has the serpentine setup and then just strip what you need.

Good choice. Also with two belts would mean that everything won't line up.
