Can I remove/break off the pulley and remove the pump? There seems to be enough room to remove the pump and reservoir. I think I can get a new pulley that has holes in it to attach the new pump. Any thoughts?

Buy a PS pump pulley puller. Something like 20-30 bucks at crappy tire. Or, crappy has a "loan program" where you can borrow one (with a refundable deposit) and return it when you are done. Looks like:
It will allow you to just press the pulley off and it also has a bolt thread to allow you to press it back on.
Neverhammer a power steering pump pulley on. Or off for that matter. You will kill the pump internals before you even install it.
