I gave that post a whirl. It mostly discusses pulley sizes related to belt size and coolant flow.
The Jim Carter pump is designed to resolve clearance issues. Its pulley size related to belt width matches the 235 balancer.
My thoughts on the adapter plate, it will contribute to our clearance issues by adding material to join the 2 mismatched components
I shimmed the 216 fan with some washers on the inside. Most of the fan blades barely clear the balancer now. I'll try a spacer between the pump and fan. Hopefully the fan wont interfere with the radiator.
We were hoping the pump would resolve all these clearance issues.
