Here's the non-A/C mounting brackets for the aluminum water pump....

The triangular bracket goes in the two long mounting bolts for the water pump and the curved bracket goes on top of the bottom of the triangle bracket...

The large triangular bracket in your first post is for the p/s pump mounting... It mounts in the bottom long bolt for the water pump, and the first shorter (Left side) bottom bolt for the water pump... We lost the long spacer that the p/s pump mounts to, so we used chrome spacers to fill the gap....

With this set-up all of the belts line up perfectly...

Thank you for all of the helpful pics. Based on this reply and the last couple before it, I am coming to the conclusion that the person who had the car before me probably mixed up some of the alternator and PS bracketing when they installed the PS pump and/or the new engine (it was originally a slant 6). They also brutally hacked a piece of of the K member to make room for the pump lines. Jebus, why people do what they do and then leave it for the next guy to sort out lol. Which is what I will try to do now...
