Ive added PS to a few mazdas before, its fairly simple to add. You need to find a donor truck, make sure its a b2200 like yours cause the b2000 pump bracket is the only thing that is a little different. Grab the steering box assembly, pump assembly with bracket and bolts, fluid lines, and dont forget the U shaped cooler line that bolts to the frame under the radiator.

The pump will not work without the belt. Defeats the purpose of a pump when there's no pumping involved.

I can post pics of my B2000 at some point this weekend. Bracing may be slightly different, but the general idea should be the same.

I can let you guys know of anything odd I find when I do my motor swap. I'm putting my 2.0L into my B2200, and taking my power steering as well.

I just did this using a donor truck at the JY, had the pump rebuilt bec it was leaking, as dragginmazda86 said take everything out of the donor truck as a complete unit. I also took this time to replace all the steering components because they were shot. It was a great upgrade. Unfortunately my phone was stolen before I could put the pics onto my PC but I will take some pics of it when I get a chance. I don't think the 2600i will work because its a different block, make sure its the same model as yours.
