Power steering question. Keep me from pulling my hair out.

Ok I'm working on my project(70 GMC) goin into its 7th year. Only get to work on it one day a week. (Maybe) Anyways I've got parts sitting everywhere ready to go into this thing and getting the engine in running shape is hold me up. It has a 350 with later model heads (non-vortec). I put a serpentine set-up off a 88 S-10 on it. Im having problems hooking up the steering box to the PS pump. I have the original steering box and I got one off a 81 model yesterday. So I can use either. The reason I got the other one is I thought I may fit the hoses that came with the 88 pump. So anyway. Should I go with the 70 box? If so how? Do I have to get a hose made? I ordered a pressure side hose from LMC. And i have the hose that came with the 88 pump. Should I cut them up and make one? Im to a point that Im just ready to put on all the chrome ive bought and DRIVE IT!!

Also I have these questions.


Does the 88 s-10 4.3 reverse flow water pump?

Do i need a idler pulley on the passenger side? Brackets have a spot for it between the a/c compressor and the crank.


Thanks everyone for making this my favorite website on the internet. If it wasnt for this page I would have sold my truck in pieces years ago.

Thanks,
