LT1 power steering

I noticed this motor doesn't have a power steering fluid reservoir so what's the best way of hooking the P/S up? Will I have to buy one of those billet reservoir's and mount it on the strut tower with a supply line going to the pump?

The LT1 resivour is remotely mounted on the fender. Any 94-96 Caprice, Impala SS, Roadmaster, Fleetwood, or 93-97 Camaro or Firebird will have a resivoir you can use. There are many many in junk yards, and I'd be willing to bet E-bay has them too.

BTW, mine is mounted on the strut tower using a factory 94 Camaro resivoir.
