I am rebuilding a 5.0 roller and have the same accessories. I am still on the hunt. The pullies on your accessories are for a v-belt and will need to be changed, or you may have to change the accessories themselves.
An easy swap would be ideal. I have seen pictures of serpentine set ups but don't know if they upgraded the power steering and a/c or not

I don't think you can just bolt on serpentine pullies. You are going to need all the brackets. Its really not a big deal. For the alternator just change the pully. The newer power steering pump can be adapted with a 90 cent double male fitting from a hardware store. A/C I havn't been able to make work yet with the new compressor because I havn't tried, my box is shot and I need to rebuild it. The water pump will need to be changed to a reverse rotation and most likely you will need to switch the entrance to the drivers side. Gota watch out with the crank pully from the junkyard. I think you should just get an aftermarket ballancer that has a removable counterwieght so you can get make it easy on yerself and just use the spacer with the stock pully and aftermarket dampener. You can just take the smog pump off and leave it out of the setup. I have a diagram which I'll post later if I can find it.
Its later...

My '66 has an '85 Lincoln engine with 2 serpentine belts. All accessories are from the Lin. also. One belt runs the power steering, Alt, and water pump off of the crankall on the drivers side. The second runs off of the crank to the A/C, an idler pully and the now missing smog pump. Water pump runs the same direction as the stock 289 as I use the stock fan. The lower outlet had to be moved to the drivers side which has provided pretty good cooling. The power steering pump was a simple hose fitting conversion for $10. The A/C is on the garage floor waiting for the rest of the unit. The alt is at least a 60 amp also. This is nice because I do not need to buy different belts when it comes time for the A/C

I pulled mine apparently off of a later model ford truck. In order to start on your's you are basically gonna need a new balancer with the 4 hole mount, then go hunting in the junk yard. The alt can be done easy with a spacer for the furthest bolt on the head and a tension rod using two heim joints. But the alt bracket with the tensioner is usually a pretty easy find- very common for many years.
Here's what I needed:
alt bracket, p/s and a/c bracket, pulleys and bolts (60$ from junk yard)
reverse rotation water pump (various)
new belt (various)
new a/c compressor (my brackets wouldn't allow running without one... came oiled so it's been a very expensive idler pulley for a while)
new power steering pump, saginaw type (various)
hose fitting for new pump plus custom line to p/s control valve (60$- I got jewed on that one)
radiator with opposite sided inlet/outlet (1970 should work)
assorted radiator hoses
I also ended up doing the 3G alt swap at the same time.....

He means a water pump that will work with a radiator with this design
