Mine has A/C, it uses outer pulley for that. Inner pulley fan and alternator. Middle is power steering. Hoses over ps pump were added for evap canister for fuel tank vent recovery. Please ignore.

Thanks, do you have a better pic and size of lower pulley
No problem, I have plenty of time. just trying to get everything put on so I can run it on the break in stand then put it in the car.
That setup shows a 3rd sheathe/pulley so its for a/c even though there is no a/c belt on it. The p/s sheathe bolts right in on top of the first sheathe with the same bolts to balancer. A later model p/s sheathe will work but one bolt hole will be in a slightly different position. Easy fix with a rat tail file.
That third groove is a bolt on aluminum pulley. I’m not sure why it is there as the car is very much untouched original configuration. I believe the car is “dealer prep” for aftermarket A/C (knee knocker)as I stated before. I’ve not seen an
aluminum pulley on a car before unless it came from an after market ac shop that were popular in the 70’s. Even the bolts holding it down are off the shelf bolts not the Chrysler 5/16” bolts typically holding the pulleys to the balancer.
