I've been looking for a quick easy solution to mount my power steering since I've removed the ac and I've seen many people have used this peice that bolts to the head. I've searched the local junkyard and I've never seen one. Anyone know if it's a factory peice and what vehicles it would come on?
Happen to know if this will work with headers? Was thinking I could cut the part where the header would bolt to off if I had to.

Yup', it's the small V-Belt bracket used with non-AC power Steering Pumps. I also have the diagram showing how the factory set-up was assembled. Here are a couple pics I took this afternoon:
Here's the diagram:
** Make note of the spacer (#6). Because the AC bracket that normally mounts to the top/front of the pass head is usually removed during an AC delete,.... you must use a spacer in that spot to keep the pulley/belt properly aligned. I don't recall the exact thinckness - it's about as thick as any 2 factory V-Belt brackets.

Just to be sure this is for an older 350 with v belt setup that I removed the ac so I need a bracket that allows me to mount the pump without using the old ac brackets.
