power steering bracket question

Im buying a 350 out of a 93 van. I cant use the power steering pump because it has a different reservoir its connected to a hose that runs up and bolts under the hood. My question is can i put a truck pump on the van bracket or do i have to get the bracket out of a truck? Do all sbc power steering pump have the same bolt pattern?

Patience, Grasshopper. We can't all be on line when you are. . .

The simplest solution would be to use your stock accessories, assuming you currently have a V8. If you want to use the truck steering pump, just mount the reservoir somewhere. I believe, though, without being able to confirm it with my own equipment, that the pumps use the same mount bolt pattern (my '95 diesel truck has the built-in reservoir).
