Re: LS3 - Power Steering & Coil Relocation

67, I have to agree, magnuson makes a bracket to relocate the reservoir to the upper area on the passenger side, but as luck would have it the KWIK a/c is located in the location they use. I am going to try to find an alternate spot there as well. Passenger side is the only choice with this setup.

So that only leaves you with keeping the one you have, where you have it, or mounting it kind of high up in the engine bay and having a long hose snake through to the pump.
87, believe me I am making phone calls and may have to go with truck setup but if I've learned anything with custom trucks it is when you change 1 thing it creates 5 more problems.

Looks like you are going to have a nice set up when your done .
