Default Best buy for remote reservoir type II power steering pump

Anyone know what the best application/part number/vendor is to fill my void for a type II power steering pump?
I will be installing this in a steering box application rather than a rack setup.

Depends on the brackets...sorta. If you're using the holley you should run the vette pump because of the fitting positions. Others will bolt in but will require grinding for fitting clearance. The same is true for a GM vette bracket. Couldn't comment on passenger car stuff, I have no experience there. Hope this helps.

I'm making my own bracket, I'm just looking for a good price on something I can hook a reservoir line to.

You can buy the pumps for about $60 - $70 for an F body, but you will need to tap the pump and install your own nipple. The easiest is to buy a corvette pump since they come with the nipple installed already. They are $103 at Rock Auto.

I was thinking of one from a late 80's or early 90's Cavalier.
They are dirt cheap, though I would have to do sown thing about the reservoir feed. It's possible that having the reservoir on the pump may work still. But the type II is smaller than the Saginaw, which is why I'm changing.

Here's what I've found...

Still trying to decipher the shaft diameter for pulley availability.

Also, has anyone looked into these brackets or have any pictures on how they mount up?
