I've been away from the GMC for awhile but started it up today to take a quick ride around the block and make sure all systems were go. Heard a different kind of noise from the engine bay, so popped open the cover. Was reminded while looking at the front accessories that I was unable to get my power steering pulley back into full alignment after I changed the water pump (along with the aluminum radiator). I took a 20-sec video of it running and shutdown, would greatly appreciate anyone's thoughts.

The problem I remember having was the tightening of the belt for both the power steering and alternator would cause the bracket holding the power steering reservoir to start to tip in. The attachment bolts for the bracket were inboard of the pulley, nothing on the outside to keep it in place. I snapped a pic of the outer side of the bracket in hopes that could shed light.

Any guidance? I can see the alternator belt is twisted a little as it heads from the power steering pulley up to the alternator and I'm fairly certain that couldn't be good for long term survival.
