i just built a 351w for my 68 mustang and was looking to ditch the old v belt pulleys and go to serpentine. but i have yet to find a set to include a pulley for the power steering pump. was wondering if any of you guys ran into this problem and if so what pulley set did you purchase?

If you are converting a V-belt system to 5.0 type serpentine you will need to switch the timing cover and water pump to a reverse rotation water pump and the corresponding timing case. That is why your existing water pump does not align with the later pulley. You will have issues with water distribution because you will be spinning the water pump impeller the wrong way if you run a late serpentine system on an early standard rotation water pump.
A v-belt to 5.0 style serpentine conversion is not just a pulley swap because of the standard vs reverse rotation water pump and timing case designs.
