From the crank to the water pump wont work without some kind of tensioner... pretty much impossible to get a belt just the right length to go on both and get it assembled, then not have it stretch after you start it up and come loss almost instantly...
If you have the pulleys and brackets for the AC like I have, you could use the tensioner for it and get a belt the right length to work...

Edit: or make an idler that you could bolt into the PS pump bracket.

If it Looks good and Works good then it's ok by me. Everything has its issues from time to time...
