hate to mention this but in that 2nd pic the one from straight on the ps looks like it sits higher then the driver's side the whole motor. As for it hitting where exactly does it hit the lower bracket? is it the bolts or the area behind the bolts? I wouldn't worry too much if you had to trim it kinda hard to see it but I don't blame ya if I buy chrome I want it to stay chrome lol.

As for the crank, yea gotta take the bolt out, it colts the pulley on and so does the 3 smaller bolts.

You may want to straight edge them to see if the belt lines up, because they make water pump pulley shims.

It could be, and hope so. As for the bracket, don't know man I aint there to see what's going on but you gotta do what ya gotta do.

Your luck seems like mine, you get close to getting things done and it does nothing but fight you. I like to look at it this way...

if it's worth having it's worth fighting for or over, so hopefully all the trouble you have will be well worth it in the end.
