Default 85-89 Picture Request

Hey Guys,
I'm in the process of relocating my Power Steering Reservoir on my 84 to the 85-89 location.
Got everything I need but can't find a good photo on the net of exact location of the 85-98 PS Reservoir bracket nor a close up of the routing of PS hoses to pump and rack.
thanks

Did you or are you wanting very primary routing '85 - '87 OR did you actually also add the cooler that would have been present I believe '88 & '89?

The upper radiator mount may have had a provision for the reservoir bracket that your '84 won't have.

Here's '85 - '87 basic from SPO:

This I believe is the correct upper bracket shroud.

I'm going in the direction of stock lines
No cooler, I forgot 89 had it. Finally getting around to upgrading my serpentine belt routing. Once I have the reservoir complete the rest is a piece of cake.
Thanks and I look forward to more pics

Thank you,thats a big help. I've got the same bracket. looks like it mounts to the crossmember and radiator shroud. The only difference I see is the bracket hole for the shroud on mine sits about an inch below. I should be able to come up with a spacer
