I spent some more time testing and fitting the various steering pump parts to the engine today (while iced in by freezing rain overnight), and I'm pretty certain I've got a handle on what I need for this to all fit and work. I'm not going to detail it all here a second time, you can read it if you wish in the thread I started for this in the main '60-66 forum -

Short executive summary - the pump brackets from POL did not fit my engine correctly, and the 2-row pulley from POL apparently only works with their pump brackets. So I am going to need to buy a 2-row pulley that is built to GM specs, not POL's.
Will possibly go ahead and buy the 3-row crank pulley I will need when I add the A/C later. Might as well get all of this in place now while it's all fresh in my mind.
