Power steering issues
 
Guys,
My truck had factory A/C that has been removed awhile back. I replaced the pulleys with billet aluminum and it really looks like I am missing another bracket for the PS unit can anybdoy confirm this?

The reason I say this is the belt keeps slipping and everytime I tighten it the PS unit looks like it is at an angle even thou the belt is straight?

If you guys know what bracket I am missing and have one I would like to buy it. I plan on installing a Vintage air unit down the road.
Thanks Matt

Yep, you're missing a bracket. Should look like this;
That bracket connects the back of the pump to the closest header flange bolt and head

Ya, need to get that bracket ASAP. Otherwise, the PS pump will flop around, possibly breaking it and / or the bracket it is on. I found mine in a salvage yard. Was easy to find. Good luck.

One I have is different. It mounts to one of the exhaust bolt holes.
