Serpentine power steering bracket question
Was there a bracket on the back of the power steering pump that attached to the block or exhaust on a 91-92 tbi serpentine belt setup? When we parted out my brother's old 92 rs we used the serpentine brackets to put a Ram Jet 350 in my Dad's 67 C10, which at the time had manual steering so I only installed the alternator, and left the pump part of the bracket empty. We got Dad the stuff to install power steering on his truck for Christmas but I wasn't sure if the camaro's had a rear pump bracket (coming off the two studs that hold the reservior on the pump) or not. I have seen the trucks used a steel L shaped bracket there but didnt know if it was needed on the camaro setup since the brackets are different. I saw one video online that showed pulling a pump and didnt mention it, just wanted to double check so we dont have this bracket crack on us if it is needed.

Re: Serpentine power steering bracket question
Thanks. I've got both those bar braces, one on the alternator to exhaust and another from the ac compressor to exhaust. Just wasnt sure if there was one on the back of the pump too that I may have left on the old pump that stayed with the camaro chassis and I forgot to pull. It doesnt appear so, looks like we are good to go.

When the serp setups 1st came out there was 3 bars on each side. It seems like they dropped the lower smog/power steering on each side and the short alt bracket in the next year.
