You mentioned you could only get two bolts in on the power steering pump, it might be Ok, but my concern would be having a bolt bust the block, due to not enough bolt's. I would either use all 4 bolts or mount the pump, but don't put on the belt. Worst case, you can drive it without the pump, it is just a lot harder to turn, since the turn's ratio is much higher. Good Luck

On the sun, if you can find a way to swing it, you need to get one of those pop-up shade canopies, they help immensley

LOL

I'm actually thinking of getting a giant drill bit today to widen the holes a little bit on the power steering bracket. that should enable me to get the bolts in alright.

Or, i cna just hacksaw the top part (the part that connects to the engine mount a little so it will fit correctly.
