Default Power Steering Problem?

I have a 1991 Acura Integra LS. It has the original B18 in it but the head was swapped for the B16 DOHC Vtec head the original bracket does not work with the new head. Does anyone know what i need to hook up the pump properly? Also i bought the car like this does anyone know the benifits of this swap. Would it have made more sence to put the gsr head on instead.

LS vtec isnt very reliable if it isnt built right. What has been done to the block? Did they just slap on the vtec head or did you actually build the motor?

the motor was just rebuilt i believe thats it. yes the head was just put on and a b16 vtec computer was installed. i don't know exactly what was done i bought the car the way it is. i want to sell it so i really need the power steering to work. the vtec is kicking in at about 5000rpm so i believe it was done right but they didn't bother to get the power steering figured out. i just need to know if there is a bracket that will work or do i have to get one custom made if so does anyone know where to get one made or to buy one?
