I decided to use the power steering setup, so the next task at hand was to make the power steering pump bracket.

I took a piece of scrap plate and tack welded a stock GM steering pump bracket so I could take measurements off the pump without having to hold the pump in the air like before.
I really don't care for the "canned ham" pump reservoirs, so I bought an earlier generation reservoir to add to the chaos of making this all work together.
To double check the measurements from the mock up, I affixed a square to the bracket. The final measurements were 7" down from the two lower holes on the pump, and 2" over from the passenger side bolt.

I laid everything out on cardboard, then traced the metal stock I bought for the project. (4"x3/16"x24" bar stock for the arm, 1.5"x3/16"x18" for the band around the pump.) With the stock traced on the cardboard, I knew where I did and did not have metal on the bracket. I then freehanded some arcs that seemed appropriate.
