okay, sorry about the newbness of this question, but I've search and haven't gotten a clear answer. When I swap in the dohc ps stuff do I use the sr's mounting bracket or the dohc ka one? Also, I which bracket would I use for the a/c compressor? Thanks for any help, I appreciate it.

For the power steering you will have to use all the DOHC lines from the steering rack to the pump as well as the reservoir... The SR and DOHC KA ones are the same... The SOHC is completely different and the reservoir is even on the wrong side... But the steering racks themselves are the same...

As for the AC you need to make a custom bracket to hold the SOHC AC compressor onto the SR... If you had a newer 240, the DOHC AC compressor would have bolted on (I think one bolt might not match up)... Maybe someone was selling these brackets or you can fab one up pretty easily...

DOHC KA P/S pump mounts to SR bracket.

DOHC KA A/C comp. will somewhat fit on the SR bracket. 3 of the 4 bolts line up. You're gonna need to use some washers on the top bolts so the pulleys line up.
