Well, it now seems clear that I can't reassemble the pulleys in place because there isn't enough room to get the third pulley (A/C) in place. Couple questions:
1. How much space should there be between the back face of the main oil seal and the front edge of the pulley hub? Is 1/4 inch too much?
2. Would there be any problem with mounting only two of the pulleys and leaving the A/C disconnected for now? (Will doing so impact the proper balance of the engine?)
3. How much wiggle room is there to remove the engine mounts when retorquing the crankshaft bolt without misaligning the engine and tranny? I certainly don't want to bust anything.
Thanks.
