'82 CJ7 . Gen V, L83 engine does not have a power steering pump. I fabricated a bracket to go where the AC compressor used to be. Here are a few pictures. Using the Jeep Saginaw pump with a reservoir.

Good job looks great. Are you having custom lines made since it's on the opposite side as the box?
 
Yes I did make new lines. I didn't want to use a separate reservoir so I came up with this. We aren't on the road yet but I believe this will work.
 
Nice looking work there!

Did this engine come from a vehicle with electric power steering? Is that why there was no pump?

Yes it came from a truck that had electric power steering.
It literally has a motor in the rack and pinion. I don't think it is a stepper motor but I'm not exactly sure how it works. I have a 2016 Silverado with the same L83 engine. No power steering pump but has "EPS" or electric power steering. It isn't an electric motor that pumps fluid.
