I got it working today. It works great for what I needed it for. I can turn it on and off with a switch. I would say it weighs slightly less than stock.
As for the reason for this. I had already done away with power steering, but still had the rack. All the pulleys were gone and I already got rid of the stock pump. Plus I had moved the radiator back and it would touch the belt now if it were put back. My grandfather bracket races with me and his shoulders have been bothering him. He needed the power steering back on it so this is what we did.

Here are some pics of the pump and wiring diagram:



Here is the bracket from the 96 3.8 power steering reservoir
I cut it off to use it to mount the pump
This is before


Here is its after cutting




Here is the left over piece, I bent it and am going to use it to mount the reservoir


Here is the pump with the hose I had made connected


Here is were I mounted the reservoir before


This part will be mounted to the body on the part that goes around the radiator. There was already a hole there anyway to put the bolt thru.


Here is the other side. This is were the bracket will mount to and then bracket to radiator support behind headlight


here is the pump mounted:


Here is the resevior mounted, I bolted the bracket to the body and it just slides on the bracket, hoses come out the bottom:

One more thing. If I was going to leave it running all the time I would put a power steering cooler on it.

I didn't because it will only run for short periods of time.
