Looks like everything lines up and fits. These two items should move me a little closer to the 21st century.

I usually hook up an external switched 12 volt and a sense wire. It is just two wires to run so most anyone should be able to handle it.

Not very many cars use a motor plate and power steering at the same time so I doubt I'll bother with creating a bracket kit.

Just buy one of those pumps and a pulley and hang it in space so the belt is straight. You'll probably have about one inch of room behind the pump for the bracket. You'll have to figure how how you want to tension the belt. Any good street rod shop should be able to fabricate a mount for you. If you are working with a G3 then mounts already exist to use this pump. Last edited by AndyF; 08/26/19 08:17 PM.

I think that would make for a clean installation.
