There is a write up on this on Vortex, Serpentine belt mod or something close... LMK if you cannot find it, I will contact someone who has done it and get the link for you. I looked quickly but could not find it...
Cheers,
David
PS-- There is actually more resistance by running a serpentine belt, and more inertia to overcome as well. Unless you are having issues with the V-belts slipping, I would leave it alone... IMHO.
