I need a vortech power steering relocation kit for a ls1 fbody..
Top mount old school kit. I called RMCR and haven't heard back yet. This is all im missing so would like to get one so I can complete this kit and get it on the car.

Do you need the reservoir mount? Figure 7-b of the installation manual shows the bracket which looks pretty easy to make.

And it can be purchased here:

Here's a picture of my old car to show where it mounts.
The power steering lines can be purchased from Huron Speed here:

The top part of the return line is regular hydraulic hose that can be purchased at an auto parts store (if it needs to be extended to reach the reservoir). After this all you would need is a hose to connect the outlet of the reservoir to the top of the power steering pump.
It also looks like you can buy the whole power steering relocation kit from Vortech, but I'm not totally sure. I found this part number off the installation manual.

What bracket are you needing? The part that holds the reservoir to the upper radiator support? If so just get some sheet metal and bend one to fit. Just look at the pic and also use the bottom of the reservoir to figure out how it was originally designed and what held in place. Its not that hard. Do you have the original install manual? I believe mine has pics of the parts needed to give you a better idea, I will try to find it and look. You can also go to Vortechs site and download the original manual if you need one. BTW I had an old Vortech kit so Im speaking out of experience. G.L.

I didn't look at it too closely, but I think it's steel. I know the one on my car is plated steel. This one is a spare that I got with a take-off RMCR Ysi kit I purchased a couple of years ago. I've since then sold the blower and brackets but still have some of these spare parts. I tried dealing with RMCR a couple of years ago but it didn't go anywhere. I waited almost a year for their new improved Ysi cog front bracket and finally gave up on them after I felt like I was getting the runaround. I think they're so focused on working with Vortech on 5th gen stuff that the 4th gen stuff has taken a back seat.
