Default Polybelt drive on 4wd Sapphire possible ?

What do I need to make a 4wd Sapphire use a polybelt drive for the alternator an steering pump ?
Can I use the crank pulley off an Escort Cosworth (does it also have the 4 teeth on it ?)
Can I use the pulley for the waterpump to from the Escort ? (if it is sold seperately)

This beacause the engine isn't goin in a Ford, and the power steering pump which is in the car has a polybelt drive instead of a simple v-belt...
Making that pump using a v-belt may be possible too, but if I can use escort stuff that'll be my first option.

late 4wd sierra and escorts used the same pulleys

you will need a 4 teeth crank pulley though and cannot use the multi teeth 1

To convert over you would need belt,crank pulley, p/s pulley, alternator pulley and the alternator bracket/auto tensioner.... the p/s pipes are different too.
