What the crap??? Please help!!!!!

Ok, so I was all geared up for getting a chunk of my Vintage Air install done this weekend.

A little background.

The motor is late 70's, early 80's vintage...somewhere around there.

The water pump is a long water pump, it has a 3 groove crank pulley and a 2 groove water pump pulley.

The alternator was on the passenger's side.

The plan:

Order vintage air's kit for a non air truck with air controller for a '72 pick-up.

I have a driver's side alternator mount off of a 72 truck.

I bought a short water pump today. I asked for one off of a '72 350.

I was going to swap the alternator and the water pump, and I had assumed I'd have a set-up very similar to a 1972 "air" truck.

The problem: As you can see in the pics below, the pulleys do not line up. The front pulley on the WP kinda lines up with the back pulley on the crank. Also, they basically touch each other! That can't be right.

The help part.... please help me figure out what the heck I need. It appears the water pump is also lower on the engine than the long pump was... is this right?

1st Q: Do I have the right water pump?

2nd Q: Do I have the right pulleys? It doesn't look right to me. If not, are they both incorrect or just one? By looking at it, it looks like I have the correct crank pulley and incorrect water pump pulley?
Edit: actually, looking again, maybe I have the wrong crank pulley????

If someone can give me some definite answer's on these things, I'll post a WTB in the proper forum.

Thank's so much all
