L98 power steering

I recently purchased an L98 from a 91 Corvette. I didn't look into all of the details (apparently) and now have a power steering pump for a rack and pinion unit.

Does anyone know if it is possible to install the power steering pump from a Camaro L98 or L03 onto the Corvette L98 with a minimum of trouble?

Thanks

the existing l03 or camaro l98 pump should bolt right up, but you may or may not need the complete driver's side serpentine bracket. i don't know if they are the same from camaro to corvette.

i would use the f-body acessories, including the accessory brackets, and put them on the vette L98.

Are you saying that the brackets and accessories are a direct bolt up from a 305 TBI to the L98?

any small block serpentine brackets should be interchangeable.

also, guys who are looking for a/c delete pulleys.... try checking the wrecking yards for fullsize chevy pickups with 4.3 motors or the small blocks without a/c. two friends have 4.3 powered fullsize chevy trucks, and the a/c delete pulleys look identical to the small block one.
