If I may provide a bit of advice with these, I have the same kit, minus power steering, and I strongly suggest lock-tite on the water pump. Mine came loose just this month, even if it was properly tightened in the first place. I also had to keep the stock alternator pulley because the alternator-side face of the aluminum one is flat, while the stock one is a bit concave. It was touching the housing.

Oh and check your water pump, there are two models here in Aus, a bolt-on pulley (the one you want), and a pressed-on pulley (the one I've got on both my EP and my 5E)...

Cheers for the advice dude, got lock-tite at the ready! Before I ordered all my OEM replacement gear, I had this kit in mind so I ordered the bolt on pump as my standard one came with a pulley.
