TX Power steering install

So guys since I'm new here I'm posting in the new members tech section. i have a 1987 FC N/A and after some internet searches and forum searches, i cant really find any pics of how the power steering is supposed to be configured. the pump and lines are all pulled from each other. there's the pump still attached, a smaller aluminum block up top that isn't connected, the pressure/return lines, and a metal pipe looking thing that's about "7 long and looks like it has a banjo fitting near the middle. I'm not sure how/where these items all fit together and any and all help is appreciated. i will add pictures of what it looks like in about two hours when i take my lunch break. Thank you guys!

Has anyone here used different ps pumps? Would an fbody Chevy camaro pump work? Similar mounting points but smaller pump.

So after researching for the last hour. I'm going to do the proper rack depower method. Saves weight space and the 13b is light upfront compared to my old ls powered car so being without ps won't be an issue.
