Issues with Aster Bracket

Take a look at this picture:
You need to either shim out the top, or tighten up the bottom mounting point because it's obviously not square to the block and crank pulley. It took me 1-2 times to get mine setup right, but I was able to eyeball it and see that it wasn't square. It sounds and looks like the bottom of the bracket is not close enough to the block, maybe there's an issue with the tolerances of the alternator bracket that it bolts to.

Did your original blower bracket come with two sets of stand offs? If so did you use the wrong combination of standoffs? I did, so the bracket didn't sit plumb to the block. Never new it until I took it off one day, never threw or shredded a belt, but I was only running the stock pulleys at the time.
Might want to check that unless the aster bracket comes with all new standoffs. Just something to check as a last resort.

This is whats on it currently and rubs on the portion of the pulley that's flared out.

Sorry to hear you're having problems, but I'm being honest when I say that when I bolted it up, I could tell that something was off on my setup due to me using a shim that I didn't need. I could feel it, that it was off when I went to tighten the bracket down.
As for the tensioner hitting the power steering pulley, yeah, it's a very close fit. I actually need to shave a few mm off the head of the bolt holding the tensioner pulley on because it's too close for my liking to the power steering pulley. Once you put the belt on, it will move the tensioner torwards the throttle body and get you some clearance.
Glad to hear you got it figured out.
