Re: Correct Power Steering Pump
Some of the parts catalogs think 87 was the first year for the serpentine belt system. You might try ordering one for an 86.
Really, it's only the reservoir that's different. If you want it done now, just remove the bolts/studs/fittings from the back of the reservoir, clean the crud off the old reservoir, and pop it on the new pump.

Re: Correct Power Steering Pump
Just be sure when you do that, to avoid distorting the reservoir... it's just this real thin sheet metal, and it seals to the pump itself with a large O-ring, and if the reservoir isn't straight, it'll leak severely. Unfortunately it looks like somebody might have already beat you to it though.
