302 from serpentine to good ole v-belts

So I just swapped a 302 H.O. from a lincoln mark VII LSC into my 81 ford as can be seen in my thread in the engine swaps forum. I figured I'd start a more specific thread for this (probably dumb) question. So, this new engine was equipped with a serpentine setup. I don't have any of the brackets, or the tensioner, so I figured it might not be so bad to just keep with v-belts. My old power steering pump would prefer it. However, knowing that my new engines water pump turns ccw and my old v-belt turned cw, what's a good part number or application to get a cw water pump that bolts right up to this motor? I tried the water pump off my old 351w (which had seen better days anyway), and it was a no go unless I left one bolt out. And If I do go this route, aside from maybe having to modify a couple brackets, any problems I might expect to run into?
