Default Taking power from a crankshaft pulley, ...

.
the serpentine rubber belt drives the water pump, alternator, power steering pump, and the A/C compressor.

A 2nd toothed rubber belt drives the exhaust camshafts.

The intake camshafts are chain driven off the exhaust camshafts, one chain for each bank.

A seperate chain drives the oil pump.

As a result, the front of the motor is pretty much a wall of chains, belts, and pulleys.
