    Luckily the PS pump goes on the opposite side (drivers side). Since you don't need a water pump belt, maybe you can switch to a factory pulley and use the water pump belt to turn the oil pump? You'll have to reroute the one hose on the drivers side. What do you do for an alternator?

    Note that some year Riv's use a much lower PS pump bracket. Big cars also use a lower position as well, but not as low as the Riv. See the "Black Cherry" build on this site.

    The thin belt goes to the 90amp alternator that is in passengersside of the engine.

    I don't know. You are running an aftermarket balancer. Someone else will know better what pulleys will work. Alignment is going to be the issue. I doubt anything stock will work perfectly (plug and play) so it will take some work.
