Get an AlDelco pump, and bleed the initial air out by turning the pump by hand first, than cranking but not starting the engine. Rigging a vacuum adapter to the pump reservoir (use no more than 20 inches vacuum) really helps get the air out.

Re: 1998 buick lesabre steering pump

But is the pump noisy because there is air in the system?

That's a very good point. You may also find flushing the PS fluid corrects the problem. I would do this before replacing the pump.
