BTW, nice work on the PS bracket -- their main failure point is the skinny lower ear and even that only really fails due to mechanic error, but boxing it like that certainly can't hurt it anyway.

One thing to note, that's a 740 bracket which is slightly different than the 240 design, the 240 moves the pump down on the bracket about an inch further to make room for the upper rad hose to wrap around it. Not a problem if you're going to run 700 style hoses and rad like your donor car has, but if you want to use the original 200 series setup you'll need a different bracket or will have to get creative with the hose.

The 700 design is less prone to breakage of that lower ear so wouldn't be bad to use it if it works, especially now that you've improved it further -- but worth keeping in mind as you plan the cooling system.
