thanks, great northern and i wanna for responding.
i've been running the chevy power steering pump...
i haven't looked at the chrysler box, but if its shaped like the chevy, then
space is a major problem with it too.
the two hoses stay close to the exhaust manifold and i've had to tilt the
pump for it to clear the box.
i've been looking at making a bracket to help raise it higher for more
clearance.
i've got it off right now because either the pump or the belt are making a
lot of noise....hope to get time tomorrow to check it out...

Unfortunately, I didn't take pictures of the PS mount on the SBC but here are the ones for the 302 Ford, You can get an idea of what the Chrysler pump looks like...
This is the 83-89 Chrysler pump with the brackets I made to fit the 302...
This the the pump mounted to the engine...
