If you want the correct appearance without breaking the bank, you can go with repopped power steering pump can, repop brackets and an AMK hardware kit and you solve the pump issue. If you car is a low horse engine, the standard pulley is easy to find GM on-line. Repops aren't bad their either. SS396.com has a decent power steering line kit that features the pressure and return hoses. You will need a ps box, steering column coupler and pitman arm to finish the deal. You will be into this for about $500 - $600 all said and done if you buy everything off the shelf. A little bit of bargain hunting and you may find a ps box reasonably priced. Go with original components and you'll go over $1000.
I have installed these components for friends before. Like anything repop, there will be a few minor issues. None of this stuff is dead on, but you shouldn't have to do any mods to make it work. The repop ps can has the reservoir pipe off in direction by about 25 - 30 degrees, but it will work.
Good luck.
