I understand that you can use the S-10 V-6 serpentine set up to swap over on a Small Block. Using that setup do you have to do anything to the power-steering pump or are the pressure settings the same? Where have you mounted the remote reservoir for the power stering?

The serpetine belt setup is a bolt on.

The power steering pumps are the same. You can use your own pump if you swap the pulley. Mine is a V-6 setup.

as long as it is a 4.3 v-6 it is the same as the sbc.

There is a nice sticky at the top of this page that covers serpentine belt conversions pretty thoroughly.
