How to mount power steering with headers?....pics please

[1970 chev truck]

I am gettin a set of headers for my truck, and on exhaust manifolds there is a mounting spot for the power steering pump and reservoir. Where would I mount the pump and reservoir with headers?

I have the one in the second pic. I cut off the upper part where it used to mount to the manifold. it's been that way for 4 years now and the belt is tight. the pump stays straight also. I think it's due to the lower part being cast iron. mine came from a 79 van. I also used the van hose. I just starightened out the bend in the metal tube since none of the parts stores had the application correct hose in stock.

You have long water pump on your truck then. You'll need to install your headers and then fabricate a spacer to go between the pump bracket and the header flange. I always use a small piece of tubing about an inch long. It just has to make up the difference between the original thick exhaust manifold and the newer thin header flange.
