I reckon thats the go.
If you can put the standard water pump back - thats a win right there.
If you can design a bolt on adaptor between the standard water pump and an off the shelf idler, then thats (i think) the best solution. A full custom pulley would mean that replacing that becomes difficult when the bearing wears/fails. Not end of the world stuff, just a little harder to maintain is all.
But lets be honest, your not doing a DOHC setup cause its easy....
The standard v-belt pulley sits a fair way back (its offset back towards the block), so the end of the pump shaft would be close to where the timing belt would run.
I don't think you would need much of a spacer, if at all.
this image of the front of the engine shows how much the pulley is set back vs where the front of the shaft ends.
