Power steering conversion help

Jeeper
I'm new to Jeeps and new to the site.
I have a 76 CJ5 w/ a AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l - 6, which I'm neck deep into adding power steering to. I gathered all the parts off ebay, got everything installed then realized I didn't have two grooves on my fan pulley.
So then I chased down a fan pulley with two grooves.
I put the the "new" fan pulley on and things just don't look right so it brought up a few questions.
First, does the power steering belt go around the harmonic balancer, the fan pulley and the PS pump, or just the harmonic balancer and the PS pump?
Second, if the belt goes around everything should I need to shim out both the alternator and PS pump to get the belts to line up or should the stock positions where the brackets bolt up to make everything line up with the fan pulley nicely.
I'm starting to think maybe I've got the wrong fan pulley.
Sorry if these are simple or stupid questions, but I'm a bit mechanically challenged.
