Well hello guys! Yet another beautiful question!
I see March performance has launched a new lovely kit for th C3 with stock GEN1 engines (such as myself).
The Revolver
http://www.marchperf.com/revolver_vette.html
For the tag of $2850 this kit comes with all pulleys, belt, brackets, P/S pump, A/C compressor, short / standard rotation water pump, alternator, GM style 2 P/S pump reservoir with stainless hoses!
However this is the only serpentine kit that they make where the crank pulley will clear the Corvette frame, however they do not make the kit work with an electric water pump. I have an electric mezire water pump. I want to keep it, dont want to go back to manual. less stress on the inside the possible.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
-Louis

Well....sometimes you just can't have your cake, and eat it too! 
Perhaps you could contact the folks at March, and see if there is a variation that allows for the use of an electrical water pumper...
