I have ussed a pair of needle nose plies (vise grip preffered) to compress the the spring and slip it in after I have the pump on.
Other wise you have to hold the pump and fish in the bolts. Which I have done roadside.
May I amend this with I am impressed you got the fan clutch off.sigpic"If one does not fail at times, then one has not challenged himself." -Ferdinand Porsche

If the tensioner is bolted down solidly, it's not super critical-
it sets the timing belt tension as you're installing it.
Then it just sits there. I guess it acts as a bit of a safety...
but if that bolt loosens, you don't have long before things... fall apart...
tnow, sometimes I just mess with people. It's more entertaining that way. george graves
