Power Steering Pump on a 2013+up LS3 Maybe this has been asked and answered, but can a power steering pump be added to the accessory drive of a 2013 and up LS3 ? In pictures, I see 2 idlers in place of the pump.
I don't know why it couldn't be. The 2010 Camaro pump bolts to the front of the cylinder head. Unless they eliminated the 3 mounting provisions on the front of the head, you should still be able to mount the PS pump.

I'm looking to purchase on Ebay and have seen some prospects there.

Funny I was just looking at the same ebay ad for finding reference photos. It looks pretty clear from the photo that the new idlers mount to the original holes in the cylinder head that the pump used to mount to. You should be able to mount a 2010-2012 Camaro PS pump without a problem or use an aftermarket FEAD.
Also I will note those new idlers are about the biggest bandaid I've ever seen. I can understand why they went that route rather than properly reworking the FEAD belt path, but wow that is an ugly solution to eliminating the PS pump.

The 2010 Camaro bracket will work just fine. You can even use an aftermarket pump like a Sweet (for remote reservoir) on that bracket. The good news is that the bracket is only $25! Let me know if you need one.
