The LO does get at least one thing wrong. The NP 205 does NOT hold 5 quarts of dextron.

The power steering for the front wheels should come from the standard chevy pump located low on the drivers side of the engine. You can almost see the filler cap in your first pic (post #4) below the thermostat housing.

Please show us where it mounts. Also, pictures of any data plates, usually inside the drivers door frame. Thank you.
