No worries, if Pwr. steering lines don't fit... Just Modify the K-member... right???

Not sure why that was even necessary, since that Federal pump has the correct brackets for the aluminum water pump. Perhaps the motor mounts were too thin or they simply needed a longer belt. Would have been smarter to bend the tubing. Anyway, I doubt it compromises the structure since I recall the corner they trimmed is just folded-over metal (no weld). If you weld a piece, it will be stronger than factory.
