ok I took the brackets off the ac compressor and it looks like i can use them somehow to mount the power steering pump back on but not sure , I'm changing the 2 barrel manifold out with a 4 barrel one and cleaning up wiring and such . Should have it back together soon . Hopefully it works cause i dont want to put that ugly ac back on . is the a different mount i can get for the ps ?

I hear it gets pretty HOT in Florida. Do you like to sweat?
Changing from AC to non AC changes the entire front accessory drive. Pullies, brackets and all. You're fixin to be scroungin up a lot of stuff, OR shellin out big bucks for something aftermarket.
My power steering bracket worked the same for NON A/C as it does with A/C. 440 based 493....
Greg, are the rest of those brackets factory?
That is a stock photo I used when I converted my car. Pictures with the engine in the car can be hard to see and make sense of.
In my '70 Charger, I converted to A/C 2 years ago this fall. I was able to keep the P/S in the same location using factory parts...in fact, the P/S pump and brackets were never changed. I went with an aluminum WP housing to save weight and to move the hose location. I have a bunch of stock pulleys so I just test fitted things until I found the stock alternator bracket, fan idler and crank pulley that lined up.
