Pulley help needed for my new engine.
I need your help finding a pulley set up for my new engine.
I have a 434 sbc in a Motown block in my 76 Vette.
I have an aluminum rad with electric fans on the front blowing, so there is lots of room for pulleys.
I currently have a new polished short vette Edelbrock water pump on the block. I the part # is 8822. I phoned March Pulleys today and they said I need to use water pump #8820 along with their march pulley set #20455 because there was no other set up that would work with the #8822 vette water pump. Fine, I can return the vette water pump and use the #8820 but I can not find the March kit #20455 anywhere.
So I'm calling for your expertise.
Anyone know where I can find this March kit?
What other pulley set up can I run on my new engine?
The only accessories I have is an alternator and power steering.
I could get rid of my power steering but would rather not.
Please give me all your advice.
Thanks,
John.

My fluidampr also causes some misalignment as its narrower than the original harmonic balancer. Anyway, my alt belt is a c-hair away from my power steering unit.
