This is both good and bad. It's a good spot to put it but a terrible spot to work on. Tightening hoses was working with cutting off and re-welding wrenches and getting your hands where you can't see what your doing.
Second issue is if I need to work on it again I have to remove the cooling tubes:
I am 100% pleased with how it operates. I like the ability to turn it off. I would however not recommend the exact route I took to get here.
However, it may lead to a better route!!
Perhaps drop the pump in from the top like the drop in batteries.
The real solution to this entire equation is finding or having made for public consumption a power steering rack purposely configured for this car.
If that could be done the process gets a 1000x easier.
