Don't give up so easily

Bosch alternators come in a myriad of configurations. Visit a local electrical rebuilder for possible pulleys. the PS pump is a GM unit,possibly other GM's have a differing size pulley Doubt it, but look around?
Power steering Can be replaced with an electric unit??
Toyotas, Hondas and even Fords come with a steering column electric assist unit. Seen complete units at a wreckers for $100
Toyotas even have a driver adjustment knob for dialing in 'assist levels'.
All as as simple? as replacing the upper steering column.
Electric water pumps have loong been available and work 'jes fine' and very reliably, IF you buy the correct flow volume for your engine.
Water and PS pump replacement could free up 12/14 hp.
Not a huge amount but enough to make it worth the effort.. should you want to spend the time dicking with your oldster
