It appears to be a '66 PS setup, as the '64 has a cast iron mounting bracket.
Belt misalignment would contribute to the dirty nature of the engine compartment due to black belt dust covering everything.
As a note- my friend Rick ran 13.50's with his '66 Lemans convertible using a 64 389 motor I traded him that had 132,000 miles on it. No mods to the motor at all.

Good observation. Heres a pick of the power steering pump. It does appear that there is dust mixed in the with oil on the pump just below the belt. BUT... if I run my finger along the edge of the belt, its clean and the belt is smooth in a place where I would expect wear.
