CA power steering problems

Ok... I am suffering from a problem. This is my second rx7 (my first was an 87 2x2). The engine is out because the previous owner is a... well... he doesn't know rotaries. I am slowly putting things back together and I finally got to power steering. And the pulley is missing parts. I have done some reading and I understand there are two different types of power steering. One is speed sensor and the other is rpm sensor. I have an 86 gxl. I am getting everything together to either replace the pulley or just switch over to manual steering but right now... I dunno. Advice rotary gods?

Does anyone know where I can find a new or used power steering pulley? I have been searching frantically looking for one so I can just continue the process of putting the engine back into the car and I don't want to try to install a manual steering rack.

I have this exact same car and pump. shoot me a pm so I am reminded about it, and I will get you all the dimensions of my pulley. Then hopefully you can find one that will fit at the junkyard or something. My pump is currently out of the car so this is no problem.

Sounds like more than the pulley missing. Is all the tensioner parts there. Take a pic if you can. I only have a pulley bearing I could offer you though.
