The Ford Barn

I have a question for guys that know the small block Ford well. I bought a 302 with the AOD transmission out of a 1982 model. I want to put into a 51 Ford street rod project, but I don't want all the serpentine stuff hanging on the front of the engine. I want it to be simple, like the 65-67 289 engines were, with just an alternator and possibley a power steering pump. No air pump or smog pump etc and just a common V belt system to drive them. Do I need to change the water pump and/or the timing chain cover to do this??? I can locate the older model alternator brackets and power steering brackets, but not sure what else I need to change.
Anybody with the info thanks for sharing.
