1991 camaro rs Air Pump pulley knock

Hello all,

So basically I was driving along the freeway and noticed my steering wheel became tough to turn as if the car shut off so I figured it was the power steering pump..when I pull over to check under the hood I realize my serpetine belt is missing. Lately I've been hearing a knocking noise and found it to be the pulley on my air pump (checked by hand and it wiggles back and forth pretty bad). My question is do I replace the whole air pump or just tighten the pulley because the new belt keeps jumping off at the air pump. I cant seem to find a new air pump with the pulley or just a pulley by itself. Any suggestions or help welcome.

-Thank you

Did you try to tighten the bolts that hold the pulley on?

Got around to taking the pump off to find out the pulley and pump are both warped..instead of three wholes on the pulley its one big one. On the search for parts now

-Thanks for the response
