After getting my hand on the correct power steering bracket EDB-33559-A it was time to line up the pulleys to each other. First of water pump pulley to first row on the damper.
My puller was to small so had to take the pump of and get it to another workshop I can access.

About 1/2" later
Time to align power steering pump pulley. It ended up aligning the the P/S pump pulley with row number 3 on the damper, As I only have a 2 row damper I needed to get creative.
From factory it seems as row number 2 is dedicated for the AC unit and row 3 is dedicated for the P/S unit. However now I needed to figure out how to move the pump 3/4" towards the the engine. First I tried to find a different P/S pulley. That was harder than I expected. A nights sleep and there it popped up in my head. I just needed to ad some spacers between P/S pump and the plate it is mounted to. And as a matter of fact, the spacers supplied in the CPP 400 Series Power steering box, that I discarded (but saved for a rainy day) (In this post) was almost a perfect fit. See pictures further down
Water pump pulley lined up straight as an arrow.
Above you can see the P/S belt clearing the lower water hose.
Below the same belt from below, here one can also see the spacers between mouinting plate and P/S Pump.

Time to collect some correct length belts.
