How is there no room for hoses? With all the options for hoses and fittings out there I would imagine it would be possible in just about any situation...

Reclock the pump and use a remote resorvoir.

So it's not the power steering that's the issue, it's the headers.

After all these years, header companies still have a hard time making an off the shelf header that clears a power steering box.

Then might just need a little dent.

Provide info. Assuming by your screen name it's a firebird, there are PLENTY of people out there running F-Body cars with various powerplants, headers and power steering.
