On newer power steering pumps you need a puller/installer, because the pulley is a press fit on the shaft, but on every 67-72 I've seen, the pulley has a nut holding it on and the shaft has a woodruff key in it. Are you not able to get the nut loose? Once the nut is off they will just pull off by hand.

the nut is off. pulley won't come off, even with persuasion.

It must be rusted/seized on then, because it's not a press fit. But I just double checked a pump I have in the garage and it does have the lip on the center of the pulley that the puller pulls on, I didn't think the older ones did, so a power steering pulley puller should work to pull it off.
