Sent sdpc a message about a front cover and seal. Also I noticed a thread about your ps cooler... Is it needed or can I just hook up the pump and not worry about it with no cooler?

You don't need a power steering cooler if its just a street car........but for literally $35-$40 and 15-20 minutes.....it really is great protection for the PS pump. Heat kills everything........keep it cool and it WILL last a lot longer. My PS pump is 14+ years old, factory original. Running it cool for its entire life surely contributed to its long life.....and my car with my 427ci has seen 10+ years of kickass, aggressive driving......
