HELP! Broken PS Fluid RES



HElP,
	I JUST BROKE MY POWER STEERING FLUID RESIVOIR!  Now I need a new
one, that is not the problem.  (FYI I broke it while trying to pull out an
AC line.  I am such an idiot)  Anyhow, what I need to know is how careful
do I have to be with dirt and moisture contamination.  PS system isn't as
sensitive as AC system is it.  I dont think I got any broken plasic in the
lines but when I put in new resivoir and fluid, do I have to bleed
anything like for brakes?  Do I have to watch for air bubbles.  Also, what
type of ATF do I use, does it matter.  Are there different/better
qualities like with Manual Tranny fluid with RedLIne synthetic or with
Motor Oil with Mobil 1 and other Synthetics.  Or Brake Fluid with nice DOt
4.  I am after performance and longetivity.  Price really isnt an object.

	If I can not find a resivoir, can I drive with no PS if I
disconnect the belt from the pump and plug the lines?
	Hope somebody can help as school is almost out and I want to go
home.  Hopefully with PS and with my Battery in its new Trunk Location.
