Deployed and need help finding some parts.

Ok I don’t like posting until I have searched, searched and searched again but I need some help. Due to the fact I’m deployed I really don’t have the time to do the research I would like to do. I have a 2002 viper GTS I was thinking about running a underdive pulley set up. From what I understand a Dakota 5.9 25% underdrive pulley will fit. If so, can I just get away with just the crank pulley and nothing else? I have put them on my mustang and they have always been in a set of 3? If I can run the Dokota pulley can you guys help me find just like a cheap stamped metal one? I don’t need a billet or anything just a cheap one to save money for better mods also can you help me with the Belt part number and where I can get it so I can just jump on and order it when I have the time??
I have found this so far. Is this what I need and the cheapest one?

Thank you, everyone so much for your help!

You are not going to gain much if any by going with an under-drive pulley kit. Just not worth the cost. If you want some nice billet pieces to make the engine look nice, March Performance has an awesome set. I have their P/S pulley on nearly all my cars. With the P/S, it's not if but when it's going to fail.

Is this a common problem with our cars? I was reading that I might make 5 hp to the rears but it helps with cooling the fuild in the P/S. Cooler fliud = Longer life I figure? Right?

Like Mike mentioned underdrives not worth the money, the P/S pullies and brackets are a common failure on GEN II cars. They love to break and leave you stranded without notice.
