Power Steering Bypass

Next problem: I'm putting the PS pump in and the battery tray is interfering with the bracket. It's not the pump, but the bracket and pulley.
What do I do except to move the battery to the trunk? I don't have a problem with that except for the battery temp sensor. I had thought about moving the battery anyways but.....

Again, how has everybody else solved this problem? I thought most guys had power steering, so should be a couple of solutions.

I solved this interference between the PS pump and the battery tray by using a narrower battery and cutting, narrowing and re-welding my battery tray to clear the pump. It works great.

I used a battery designed for a Ford mini-school bus, because it was has the highest a narrow width and the highest CCA (cold cranking amps) that I could find in that width.
