Everyone has been very helpful so far. I really wish I was in town to post some pictures!
cdowns (#16): I measured my water pump and it is 5 7/8 from the back to the front flange. I assume this is a short pump.
cdowns (#20): The bracket in that post looks exactly like mine.
mrein3 (#21): I used a small punch to mark my drill point. when I started to drill the bolt started to turn in. It came right out with an easy out. I hardly drilled a hole at all. I got pretty lucky. I will ask our aircraft mechanics if they know where to get those left hand drill bits.
55454 (#22): I never had this problem on the old engine. The new motor hasn't been in for more than 4 months. The other belts for the a/c and p/s looked like they lined up pretty well, but I was adjusting the tension maybe once a month. I didn't give it much thought because it was a new engine and all new belts. I figured they were just stretching a bit. Also, when you ask if the harmonic balancer is back all the way. How far is all the way back? I thought is was pressed on all the way, but maybe not. There is 1/2" space between the timing cover and the balancer. How close should it be? I will make sure it is the correct distance with the new one. A picture of the this might be helpfull too.
