I recently Changed the pulleys on my Small block from A/C to chrome non-A/C with power steering. I thought the original PS brackets and pulley would be correct, however, the change to an aftermarket, 2-groove Crank pulley and PS pulley caused a large offset in the pulleys between the crank and PS pulley. The PS pulley sits about 3/8" too far foreward to match the crank pulley correctly. The water pump and alternator pulleys lined up perfectly.

Any pictures or ideas on this? I have the oval shaped, keyway type pump. Perhaps I have the brackets on incorrectly, or I am just using the wrong pulleys or brackets. Any pictures or ideas? I can get a picture of this situation if need be.

My bet is it is miss matched.
Most aftermarket sets are for non-a/c.
My bet is your compressor doesn't line up anymore either.
If you change the bracket to a non a/c ps bracket, I bet they line up.

So where can I find these brackets in the aftermarket, I looked around a little hoping Mancini would have something, sort of became confused looking, I was under the assumption that non-AC and AC cars had similair PS brackets. But it would make sense.
