Volare power steering compatability

For those of you who have used the Volare front end and the steering box, what power steering pumps are compatible? I have a 2001 pump from an Explorer 5.0 and serpentine pulley system that I plan to have hoses made to connect the pump and steering box. Does anyone know if the two are compatible?

I made custom lines to run a factory Ford pump with mine.

I found it easier to make brackets to mount a Volare PS pump. That way you are sure it's compatible. However, mine were V-belt systems...

I went with a Volare Pump ( saginaw style) from O'reilly's and the brackets, pulley etc. from CVF Racing, the P.S. doesn't seem to work that great, I think the pulley I have is too big.
