just uninstall the ps out of the donor car. everything thats hooked up to the pump you'll need... resivor, belt, pulley, lines, bracket, etc. If you can take it out... you should be able to put it back in. Sorry I flaked on those skirts man. Hopefully this helps.

Besides the obvious engine bay stuff- rack, pump, reservoir, lines- you'll also need the PS computer (no need to pull the dash) and the main pulley (if your car never had PS and AC).

"A" are the pulleys that drive the PS and AC. Your car may or may not have them already. If not, four bolts hold them on.

"B" is the PS pump/idler pulley/bracket/reservoir. The bracket also holds the AC compressor and is a giant ****.

"C" is the steering rack itself.

Those are the major components.

The computer is located under the steering column.
See page 15-83 of the FSM.

That "tube with a sticker" ("C") is the steering rack.
"A" points to the pulleys.

Are you sure you want to do this?
Pulling the PS from one car and installing it successfully in another isn't terribly difficult but may be beyond your capabilities given that you don't even recognize the parts yet.
Be aware that you should definitely inspect the tie rod ends (and to be safe, just go ahead and replace them) and be prepared to have the alignment checked when you're done.

Good ruck.

This might be semi-pertinent.
