It looks like ICT Billet has a pretty good answer to the power steering question and at a much more reasonable cost compared to the others. The only issue I see is that the pump appears to be put on the wrong side of the engine requiring more hoses across the front end.

I just dont like the coolant hose routing, nor the power steering on the passenger side.. when said and done the front end will be simple and clean.. once everything is put together. Since i ordere a few more of the adapters, 5 sets total, ill likely make 5 sets of alt and power steeeing pump brackets as anotjer solution for others.
