There shouldn't be an interference. What happened is your turbos have probably been rebuilt and they didn't get the compressor side housing on in exactly the right spot.
What you want to do is put your y-pipe and crossover pipe on. If you have to take the airpump off then do it. Bolt everything up tight on the y-pipe and then push it or pull it to get the compressor side housing to rotate. It should work without HUGE effort. Once you get the crossover pipe in the right location then the airpump should go right on.
Also check the alternator's position and adjust it to fit. The airpump and alternator are both adjustable and they share the same belt. Typically I use the alternator to adjust belt tension while running the airpump closest to the engine. This helps prevent the airpump pulley/belt from rubbing on the front turbo inlet hose.

I had a slit fitment problem with putting on the crossover pipe, since the flange was too big.
What exactly is your problem?

therefore the air pump wont slide into its normal mounting place

When ever you take your turbos out for a rebuild, you MUST mark each turbo with two reference points.
Turbo (snail) to the large tubo housing that holds it.
And the compressor housing to the snail, best in the area is not covered by the large "C" clip.
When you get the snails back, align the compressor to snail if the marks are off. Then when the snails are inserted into the housing, align them to the marks.
This way you will always have a perfect fit.
