Default Vortech v1 got some questions

Evaluating my options here guys. There is a v1 head unit with rmcr bracket I am considering buying. It comes with sc, bracket, pulleys and crank pulley.
I once had a rear mount turbo kit at one time in my trans am with from mount intercooler I fabbed up.
My questions are. What crank balancer do I need to adapt to the Vortech crank pulley? Is pinning crank pulley required? What has to happen to power steering pump reservoir to get the supercharger to fit?

The ATI balancer used with the Vortech kit is part# 918853.

While maybe not 100% necessary, I'd recommend pinning the balancer if you can.

The power steering pump will mount to the RMCR bracket. You need to remove the reservoir and mount it to the radiator support on a fabricated bracket. There is a special short right angle fitting that will push into the power steering pump that you attach a hose to and run it to the reservoir. You will also need another adapter fitting on the reservoir to attach the hose to on the other end.

Here are some pics. Unfortunately I sold this stuff to a member on here a year ago.

Pin it to the crank. Otherwise, the bolt can back out and you'll spin the balancer right off the crank. Been there. Not fun rebuilding your motor because you trashed the crank snout.
