That will work if you have no Timing Chain Stretch or other wear in your timing gears that would change your Camshaft Timing.
Or, I suppose if you knew how much off your Camshaft Timing was prior to the Pulley comming loose.

For example the last time I lined up my Camshaft Timing Marks on the Compression Stroke I was 2 degrees past TDC.

Also from the OPs description the holes the Pully Pins/keys went in are too big now and the Pully is now out of alinment.
Just putting a new Pulley on with Stock Pins/Keys will not aline it.
