A tip on the Knock sensor, TPI cars had them on the RH side by the engine mount. (ACDELCO 21396 ) While it is a possibility, you would need to know the sensor's specifics and also that your block is similar if not exactly in metallurgy. Also, you would need to cross that info into your ECU. As discussed, if you are going to guess on something that one would rely upon its data, might as well guess w/o it.

PS - pump looks good. If you can live with the other pulleys, I'd leave them until you do a serp conversion. While it would have bling, you could score a TPI non AC set up cheap. BIllet specialties has nice stuff if you want to burn some $
