I was thinking to possible use an under drive PS pulley. First I need to see how the modern PS pump pressure compares to an old style pump when using a steering box. By using a larger diameter pulley the belt will hug the WP pulley more and clear the hose. If I also keep the tensioner lower the angle seems to create at least 1/4" clearance with the intake tube. I was also going to grind a small portion of it down for reassurance. It's all just mocked up by hand in the pic so it's hard to say. I have the same concern you mention.
Oh, and I should have talked you into taking TOW to cars and coffee this morning. I complete forgot about it until 8am this morning.
