Default Fan and Alt Belts

Does anyone have a source for the NOS style reproduction belts for 78 Trans Ams?
They make them for the older Pontiac’s but I guess 1978 is too new. Haha!
Looking for
Fan belt Code GL 9439754
Alt belt Code BY 9433646

And they'd have to make 50 different versions based on the options, more a 'classic appearance' range.

I believe the original belts had exposed cogs on the outside. Closest match is the Dayco top-cog series. Don't forget to get a slightly wider belt for the power steering pulley. Most retailers sell the PS/fan and alternator/fan belts at the same width (15/32"), when the PS belt should be 17/32".

P/N recommendations:

Alt/Fan Belt: DAYCO 15485
PS/Fan Belt: DAYCO 17495
