I don't know if you saw my post on XOC, but I'm not as optimistic as I was. Apparently the power steering pumps have an integrated bracket, and are not interchangeable. You'd have to buy a pre-01 Pathy pump, they list for $400, and good luck finding one from a junker. The alternator bracket for the Pathy alone lists for $200+ as well.
If anyone has the gumption to pull their bumper, grille, and radiator to have a really good look at things, it would be a start. I'm almost tempted, but the damn A/C condenser is the kicker to an otherwise simple exploration. Don't know if it can be moved aside without opening anything up. Otherwise it's just the tranny cooler circuit in the radiator and the coolant itself to be conscerned with, and I'm up for that if I can spare the time.
