completely normal for a Bosch pump you should just about be able to turn it by hand if you really put for back into it!
will turn easily for a some of the rotation then get tight as the rollers start to push against the cam plate
i wouldn't worry about it being sat a while we started a old daihatsu diesel that was sat in a field for about 15 years, some diesel in a can with a pipe to the pump and battery and off she went!
the way you have cut that mount will you not have the belt exposed once you put the cover back on ?
this is the way i did it in my vitara. the original plastic one got lost
