Welcome to the Pond!
I switched a small block for a 454 in my 66 Impala. I had the same problem. I had no brackets, pulleys etc. After looking around a little while, I opted for the big block factory serpentine belt system. I bought mine from PACE, but you can sometimes find them at salvage. You have to change the bolts the attach it to the heads since the ones they supply in the kit were metric. I just used all thread and nuts and I can pull the whole system off real easy. The new kit is a little pricey, but it comes with everything if you don't have anything but a block. If you are looking for the classic "V" belt look, good luck.
There are some pictures on my Crabmobile thread.

Talk to you later,
CRAB

The Tulsa swap meet is coming up soon too if you are from around this area, I am sure you could find what you need there pretty cheap...
