make sure to use the proper torque on the pulley bolts when reinstalling, I have seen/had pulleys on numerous vehicles shear the bolts, not due to any harsher driving conditions, but because the bolts had been overtightened which stretchs and greatly weakens the bolts, and it takes very minor stress to get them to fail.

The replacement crank timing cog that lowrange shows in their repair kit does have a locating pin.

The torque is only around 100 IN.LBS for the crank pulley bolts (don't recall the exact spec off the top of my head).
For the lower timing belt cog, the center bolt needs to be torqued to 94 FT.LBS.

Ok, well if it has a locating pin, then it doesn't need to be there and can be ground off or removed.  Since the crank pulley will only go on one way, because of the crank keyway.

I am referring to the locating pin that is on the face that the drive pulley bolts to on the timing belt cog. The crank keyway doesnt impact/touch the drive pulley at all.

Oh, yeah, you are right.  The newer ones have the roll pin and are smooth around the outer edge of the raised lip, unlike the older ones like shown in my pic.

We are both correct! LOL,

What year did they change the design?

Yep we are...LOL.  I deal primarily with the older stuff (pre 96) and samurais, so that is why I forgot about the different design on the newer stuff.
I am not sure when they changed it.  96s have the "new style" timing cog and crank sensor, so it was changed by then.  That pic is of a 95 8V, so it could have been in 96, or it could have been hit or miss on the style in earlier years.

here's mine from a 96 1.6 16 valve.
