Thanks to Forum posts and the shotimes 60K care & feeding I got my water pump back on my 3.2

Removing the timing belt backing plate behind the cam pulleys not only made the new CPS wire routing easier (per the article), but also enabled separate installation of the water pump and the aluminum pulley bracket on the front (left side) of the water pump over the inlet tube. I was trying to line up the waterpump attached to the mounting plate and the aluminum pulley bracket all while trying to hit the crossover tube just right dodging the backing plate and the alternator(and not losing the rubber O ring that seats to the block). I was wasting hours. (remove the alternator also)
