Hey guys. As some of you know I recently bought a super charger. It sits right about where the power steering pump is, and the fill cap comes in contact with it. The pump sits higher than stock because I did the AC delete. So my question is can I rotate the pump in the bracket? Has anyone rotated it before?

That's too far, you won't keep fluid in it
just my observation.

I did mine and you have to keep a close eye on the fluid. Also installed a supercharger (Procharger)

That's what I feared might happen.. hoping it's just enough to keep it upright

Picks of the one above would be good but I am looking at the orientation of the bolts and the fill neck and it looks to me like the fill neck will be horizontal or close to anyway.

I believe there are relocation kits available for the ps pump.

Sorry I can not because I changed over to an different bracket for the supercharger and am presently using a ford F150 pump with a remote reservoir. The PS pump is mounted where the air pump was. Custom fabricated brackets to make this work.

My SC is on the drivers side where I see yours is on the passenger side. I previously had a Procharger bracket (shown below) designed for 94/95 mustang.

Found this online showing the setup I had. Note the tilted PS pump reservoir with the filler neck clocked about 10:30 behind the coil.

I forgot I had a spare ps pump so I just put it up to my bracket and learned it wont work. At least not in the bracket i have now. It's way to sideways to make work. So I'm just going to put on my old bracket that held the ac compressor too, I'll just remove the compressor.

Just go get a late model ps pump with a remote reservoir, and figure out a mounting solution. keep the AC compressor.

I'll look into the late model pump, thanks. As far as my ac it doesnt work anyway, so I figured one less pulley for the belt to control.
