Has anyone with a 455 done some type of power steering pump with a remote resevoir? I going with a different fan setup and was wonfering if I could eliminate some of the bracketry?

Mid-1980s Chevy trucks (like my 1986 dually) used the same Saginaw pump with a smaller reservoir can on the pump and a remote reservoir connected with a hose. This pump fits in the stock Olds bracketry. I'm not sure how going to a remote reservoir reduces the bracketry, however. The pump body still needs to bolt to the motor with belt tensioning capability.

You're right Joe. I'm really looking for the smaller can I guess

BB 69 chevelles had them - to what benefit, I don't know!

If you get one of these Chevy remote-fill reservoir setups, the reservoir simply replaces the one on your existing pump body. As I said, they are common in mid-1980 GM pickups.
