Power Steering Bracket?

[ChunkyLover53]

I know this is kind of a noob question, but is the circled thing with 2 studs in it the bracket for the power steering pump? It looks to be in about the correct position for the power steering pump. It is connected to the block, by 3 bolts or so. And is this bracket able to be removed? Thanks for any responses in advance.

Well, you kind of need your motor mounts.

Power steering bracket is just a square-ish bracket that the pump just sits in. If you don't use it, you should send it to me! Mine's cracked.

I realize this, I was just wondering if the metal piece with the studs is able to be removed from the block. I have seen other six bolts that look like they do not have this piece connected, but I do not think i can remove this piece. Is it truly a removable piece?

Hahaha a wheel barrow! Hah!
Thats one hell of a motor swap...

Yes you can remove that peice also if your doing a swap on a 2g you can just use your 2g motor mount insted of that ugly thing..

! Thanks for input guys, and I regret to inform you that I am just a little slow. I had to go outside and take a look at it for a 5th time. Anyways yes I had to unload this engine, and I didn't have my engine stand set up yet. I do not know if I am going to swap this into a 2G yet, because my 7 bolt is still holding up pretty well.

I have seen that piece cut off on 1g race cars, but that's it. I highly recommend keeping it there unless putting the motor in a 2g, like 97 4G63 suggested.

I need a 7bolt one though. I have a 6bolt one but it wouldn't fit.
