I just finished mounting the harmonic balancer pulley and the power steering pulley in my new motor that i installed in my 70 chevy longhorn and its NOT lining up correctly with the belt!!! It was correctly when it was in the old engine, but this time i dont know what went wrong!!! I thighten the balancer and power steering correctly, but still not lining up right!!!!

How far off is it? Leave any spacers out of the ps bracket?

1/4 inch? Mines about 3/4 inch off,has been since '99 and no problems.
I thought I remembered some sort of spacer that is supposed to position the bracket, maybe I'm thinking about some other vehicle. (big help eh?).

I was putting the lwp setup in my Blazer and the pulleys would not line up so I put the swp back on and they line up fine. Which are you using? On the new motor did you press the harmonic balancer on enough?

do you still have the old motor ? if so start comparing everything from dampener thickness to where the mounting holes are in the block

I just switched the old balancer and pulley to the new motor. I didn't put nothing different so thats why i wonder why the crap doesnt line up like it was in the old motor if everything's the same and i did press the balancer hard enough in!!! I will check on the old motor to see whats up!!
