A pro ecomodder could buy a junkyard accessories bracket and machine slots for the power steering mounting points. Thus, They could raise and lower the PS pump to tension the serpentine. Since the PS is on the side with the water pump (and you have an e-fan) you could bypass the alternator with a nice, short belt. Straight from crank to PS pump, with an outside contact onto the water pump.
Another advantage you have on me is the stock 3.73 gears. X-cabs got 4.10 gearing. If my pinion seal starts to leak any worse, it'll be a good reason to find a junkyard 3.73.
