Putting a 350 chevy in my 82 Trans Am.. So ive got the engine all bolted in the car and what not. I got the alternator so its good to go, that was easy. Now im not sure how i mount the power steering pump up. I am assuming i am missing some parts (spacers or maybe another component that should be there?)

Ok here is the deal, we got a camaro for parts, took the tranny out for the trans am.. The power steering pump is off that camaro, which never ran when i got it, the engine was tore half apart. I dont remember how the power steering pump was on the engine, but i had one bolt still holding the steering pump to the water pump from that engine, so i figured out how to bolt that to my engine. The holes line up, but like i said it seems as i need some spacers. Now the bad thing is when the steering pump is flush with the water pump, the belt doesnt really line up..

I really hope what i just typed is understandable.. Here are some pics to see whats going on.. And yes i know, it looks pretty crappy, which it is.. But damn the camera really brings out how bad it looks haha..

O ya and the hole in the water pump where the steering pump bolts to, it doesnt have any threads in it, so thats a problem too. Im almost thinking the two water pumps have different widths or whatever from the back to the front where the bolt goes on..

 

i think you need your compressor on before you put on your belt for your steering pump. dont hold me to it but i think thats the prob

 

Also looks like you are missing the plate that attaches to the three bolts hole in front of the heads on the drives side. I believe that one of the bolts holes uses a bolt with studded threads off of the end and the pump connects to that.
