I think I recall the manufacturer folding 20+ years ago as the industry changed to silicone sealants.
Blue Hylomar is still widely available and they used to do a red version called Hylotyte if you prefer seeing a red ooze as you torque down rather than a blue one...

Re: Noises from engine after 12 year lay up
Probably the fan catching the alternator
I think it might have been. Felt it right through the car which was concerning. Will check the blades for any damage.
Anyway, stripped off, I take it I need a puller to get the old VC off the pulley? After putting the tolerance ring on the pulley, is ...

Re: Rubber or Polyurethane?
The other place I would avoid poly bushing is the axle end of the rear radius rods; I've seen too many polybushed cars compromising the threaded ends of the radius rods due to insufficient flexing causing the threaded ends to bend and in worst case scenarios shear the threaded end completely.

Re: A couple of leaks
Ideally, you need a puller that will fit inside the cage. What's your location?

Re: A couple of leaks
Remove pump again, remove cage, bench assemble the two and then offer the lot to the block. You'll probably need to press the cage on. The flat on the spindle doesn't locate with anything, its just a mini oil pump.
