Hmm. I pulled my pulleys off my 1982 Quantum, and mine didn't have the shimmed pulleys on the WP. The crank pulley was shimmed. The setup looks like what was used on 1980-1984 Rabbit, Convertible and Scirocco GASSERS with AC. In fact, the part numbers are exactly the same: 055 --- --- numbers.
Another option to consider is the 1997-1998 Passat AEB 1.8T setup. It runs off the P/S pump and is a split design, without shims.
What's the application going on? I've seen some posts by Andrew, without mention of the application.
Vanagon? I've seen Andrew mention flipping them around for offset, so I don't know if the Passat setup will work on the (custom) application.
