Camel hump heads and power steering questions

I have a 1967 short bed with a 327 and camel hump heads. I can not figure out how I can mount a power steering pump to my engine. is there special brackets I need? Any ideas or pictures of the same set up would be greatly appreciated.

You can go with a 1970 style like what I have.

Or drill and tap the heads to accept accessories. Main drawback of those heads is no accessorie bolt holes for street rigs.

Great advice. Try for a newer style set up.

I have done that on customer's older camel heads on occasion. Problem with these is no flat pads with extra meat on the ends so drill depth is critical.
