Hey guys, I'm in the midst of a vintage air install on my Chevelle. Due to my late '70s pulley setup (alt pass side high, A/C compressor pass side low, KRC P/S pump drivers side) I'm having issues with my water pump exit.

Current Setup:
42055


I'm using the Alan Groves low mount compressor bracket, but need to raise it to clear the steering linkage, which puts the water pump pulley in contact with the water pump hose.

Alan Grove Bracket:
42056

Wondering if anyone knows what vehicle & year the water pump exits horizontally like the below picture but in a long version.

42057

I would like to buy a long water pump with a similar exit to the original 1965 water pump, I just don't know which one to get.

Thanks!

almost looks like the water pump that was in my 55 chevy. 283 ci..... but it was a short. maybe you can run the spacers.
