62 c20 power steering / 235 - need some smart people.

Getting ready to the pull the trigger on a power steering conversion on my 62 C20 with the stock 235 motor.

Attached a few pics, you will have to excuse the crappy Microsoft paint work. I picked up a power steering pump and sector out of an 86 Chevy 2wd c10 yesterday for $50 bucks. I am planning on fabbing a mount for the power steering pump directly above the generator. Plan on welding another pulley onto the generator pulley to drive the power steering pump directly above it.

Question: Will that generator size pulley drive the power steering pump to fast or to slow? I'm thinking it will drive it faster than the factory set up it came off of. If yes, does that matter?

2nd pic. I'm planning on ordering a plate and rag joint adapter from Captainfab. Where do I cut the steering shaft above the current rag joint?

Thanks in advance, Matt
