Agreed. It can seem a bit overwhelming at first, but the whole accessory drive boils down to:
Water pump
Balancer
Power steering pump
Alternator
P/S bracket
Tensioner & Idler pulley
And maybe:
AC compressor
A/C bracket
Plus the right length belt. There's a good chance that you can re-use your water pump and balancer if not switching offsets (car vs truck).
I bought a complete dropout assuming I'd re-use everything and not wanting to hunt down all the parts. In the end, everything accessory drive related was too crusty for my build, so I sold off all the accessory drive stuff and pieced it together fine.
