The process of going with an electric water pump and fans yielded some interesting ideas.
First off I removed the fan, and OEM water pump to reduce drag, and tidy up the front of the engine.

What happened next was unexpected. I was able to remove 3 extra pulleys I didn't plan for, I just needed the right sized belt... so, with some careful measuring and 3 custom length belts later I finally had it. The belt is 2 ft shorter, and it reduced some Nano drag on the crank. I hope the belt doesn't slip, but it has at lease 120 deg of wrap on all pulleys.
