Has anyone Lowered their Power Steering assembly?

I am looking at the Bracket and think that the Whole Unit can be Lowered on the engine,so that I can run IC pipe where the Steering pump was.I don't have AC.so it would be going around that area.
So,has anyone Ever Modified the Steering Pump Bracket,Made new Mount holes,to Lower the Pump,so that the Unit can Remain on the car with a Front mount Intercooler?
Please Post Pictures If so,Or send them to my Email.(I'll share them somehow!).Cheers,and Thanks.STYX.

This is the method I used, and can vouch for working really well

I searched all forums for "relocation" and found this in under 20 seconds... Search is your friend

You used the fb's gsl-se power steering bracket. It moves it down where the a/c pump is. A person I met has done it and shown me how it looks. It's out of the way of the ic piping.
