Default LQ9/LS1 power steering pump differences

I am in the process of installing f body accessories on my 2002 LQ9 swap into an 81 Corvette. i have installed the fbody alternator in the lower position on the drivers side and I am looking to install the power steering pump directly above the alternator. My question is can I use the power steering pump from the LQ9 motor or will I have to purchase a power steering pump for the 2002 fbody? Is it possible to use the LQ9 power steering pump and change the belt pulley to one for fbody, 2002 Camaro is the fbody I have used for thje build.

Welcome any and all insights.

The spacing on the truck vs f body is different. The f body mount is set up for a separate reservoir. Easier to just get the f body set up.

My LQ9 steering pump is made for hydroboost only. Just one more reason to get a fbody pump.
