water pump pulley

have an issue with my water pump pulley ive been meaning to address(1972 cutlass supreme 350) i eliminated the ac in my convertible and for some dumb reason i installed a non ac water pump . in order for the belts to line up properly i had to shim pulley away from the pump nose cone.it has a slight wobble in it and id like to remedy it by using a non ac 2 grove pulley .will this work? id rather not have to buy a new water pump for ac.

I don't have the pulley your looking for but I do have a 3/16 factory made spacer that should stop the wobble if your pulley is not bent??

Let me know if you can use and I will send N/C.

Thanks johny

I would think the proper WP pulley would solve your problem
I'm just not sure what pulley that would be.
AFAIK, the alt, PS, and crank pulleys are all on the same plane regardless of A/C or non A/C.
The shorter WPs have 'shallower' pulleys & vice versa.

I *think* you need a 'KE" pulley.

So put the A/C water pump back on, throw away the pulley spacer, and problem solved. The A/C pump is the same one used in HD cooling applications anyway.
