I did the same as John.

Pump body needed a bit of material removed to clear the intake manifold.

Also used the same setup on my 7A 4kq.

And same here, no need for vacuum pumps or reservoirs. Stock vacuum booster
has at least 2-3 pumps worth of vacuum store in it.
Ive taken my cars to track couple of times, and bunch of ice racing and
never ran out of assist.

I second Justy's advice. I run my 20v'ed urq with a Coupe Q vacuum settup
plumbed directly from the freeze plug on the fore end of the 3B intake
manifold for vacuum and distributed from a stock 4kq pressure regulator.

I don't use a vacuum reservoir. I definitely don't need one for street use,
might be a consideration for near constant-boost track use (which is
somewhat unlikely barring a serious hillclimb). For spirited street driving,
simply not an issue.

For the power steering, a custom bracket is elegant but not necessary if the
price is prohibitive. I pieced one together using a combination of 3B/4k
brackets which actually works just fine. My first attempt was to simply use
a 200q20v pump with custom hoses which promptly exploded my rack. Lesson
learned.

A few pics of my settup which may not be gorgeous but works quite reliably:

Let me know if I can help further.

> Hello All,

> For those who have 3B conversions, what have you done with the power
steering? I recently purchased a urq with the 20VT but the previous owner
has removed the brake bomb and has gone to vacuum assist. The PS is not
connected and likely even currently installed unit does not seem like the
belt will line up properly which tells me the original urn PS pump has been
put on.
