Cars often only used the single sheave pump because the fan was driven by a separate belt, so the generator and water pumps only had a single sheave. (the load was less) There are many variations. Btw the double sheave pumps also come in two different belt widths.
Does that help?

Yes!! Of course! Thanks Lynn!!
