With everything off the back of the engine I would replace the pulley seal and o ring while everything is out of the way. Same for those rear engine mounts. Speaking of those the current supply of outers are made wrong. You need to bend those outside tabs out so the mount can also flex up. Otherwise you will feel excessive engine vibration.

Hi Dave, To remove the oil pump does NOT require removing the rear pulley. It will clear the pully just fine. Just remove the cross-under coolant hose.
