292's seem to be just slightly odd for most of the accessory attachments unless you have all the original parts. I can't remember exactly how I got there but I had a similar problem on mine. I had to put a 2 groove pulley on the alternator and use the outermost groove and I had to make a special adapter to move the alternator about a 1/2" or so; I believe I had to move it toward the radiator. I also had to flatten out the slotted tensioning bracket that goes on the top of the alternator. I've learned that if you want a 292 and you want power steering, AC, etc you better be good at improvising. I'm still working on how to put an AC compressor on mine. Good luck.

By the way, if you need to make an adapter out of angle iron like I did you need to keep the pivot axis in the same place as it was before. I rotated the original bracket 90 degrees but kept the pivot in the same place.
