Upon arriving home from the junkyard, I saw the post from sduckwoth13 and immediately shot him a PM… later in the day as I was chasing a bolt and belts, Scott called and we had a nice chat… Thanx again Scott!!!
The trip to the Pick-N-Pull netted me the Water pump and pulley, Alternator brackets, and Balancer pulley…
I replaced the short water pump with the long one, installed the P/S, and re-worked the fuel line from the pump to the carb, as it was, it interfered with the alternator in it's new home on the pass side of the engine… I then made a run to the parts store for belts… Unfortunately, the alternator belt ended up being too long, and the one I exchanged it for tonight ended up being too short...
I will get the right one tomorrow…
Here's the P/S pump installed and adjusted with the new belt…

Here's the alternator waiting on a proper size belt and the wiring harness to be elongated…You can't tell from these pics, but all the pulleys lined up beautifully...

Here's the wiring harness, it was long enough for the D/S location, but for the Pass side… not so much...

…so tomorrow, I plan on getting the right alt belt, elongating the wiring, and mounting the Power Steering Box...
then it will be time to re-install the fan shroud and radiator and test drive...
