Currently looks like this. Does anyone know what they should look like? or if an aftermarket system like 440 sources "serpentine" pulleys would work instead?

Thanks for the advice everyone, I am going to get rid of that lower idler and see how the belts line up with the 100amp alternator to see if that one can go as well. although I still might try replacing them with something like this

My small block is set up like that with a 100 amp. Even my 440 2wd tow truck had a high mounted power steering pump without that wierd idler.
