Default PS bracket for zc civic

I put a 89 zc in my 91' std 6 yrs ago. My wife, who is now 69, has a hard time steering it with the wide tires I have on the car. Particularly hard when she wants to parallel park. I have all of the PS components from a 89 civic 4dr that I need to make the transition accept a bracket to hold the ps pump to the motor. Obviously the bracket from the 89' civic 1.5 will not work on the zc motor. I think the PS bracket from a 86-89 Teg will work, but need to find one. Do I need the PS pump also? Anyone out there have one they would sell?
Thanks

if you have a 88-91 JDM DOHC ZC engine, you need the PS pump bracket for the DOHC ZC - attaches to the front side of the engine (toward the radiator) - the 86-89 Integra bracket is completely different and won't work on the ZC - the Integra PS pump bracket is a 2 piece bracket - one piece attaches to the driver's side end where the engine mount is located on the ZC and also attaches to a second bracket that attaches to the back side of the engine

Thanks so much for the response...I'll stop looking for a 89 teg. I do have the 89 JDM DOHC 1.6 black top ZC, so I guess that I will need the PS bracket for that motor. Any idea where I can get one? Any chance you have contacts with others that made the conversion into a CRX or Civic that took the PS bracket off because they did not have PS in the car?
Thanks for your help, my wife appreciates your efforts.

but the STD model never came with power steering . so if you really wanted power steering in that car you would also have to get a rack and pinion that has power steering like in some of the 4-doors that came with it in 88-91
