I'm looking at purchasing a super charger from TorqStorm. There kit comes with an aluminum Saginwa GM Type II/TC power steering pump and 10 AN feed.

I have PSC’s Steering Assist, Steering Gear Box, Saginwa P Pump with Remote Reservoir & I also have Hydroboost.


I wanted to keep all my steering gear PSC.
I also wanted to keep my 12 AN feed and the PSC Saginwa GM Type II/TC power steering pump in Steel.


PSC Hi-Flow Type II/TC pump, 1500 PSI & 2.8 GPM (Steel)

TorqStorm’s pump1500 PSI & 3-3.5 GPM (Aluminum) and come with 10 AN feed.

TorqStorm position is the PSC pump won’t fit there brackets.

PSC:
A side note, vendors of hydroboost units state that hydroboost units do not respond well to being overwhelmed with too much fluid volume, so keep that in mind when building the project.


Lee Power Steering:
These Type 2 steering pumps can be found in both Steel and Aluminum versions. Our years of experience have shown us that the Steel version has a much longer life span and will handle higher temperatures, therefore that’s what we sell.



My questions are:

What’s your opinions on steel vs aluminum Type II pumps?

Will It be ok with the 10 AN feed? Or should I change the fitting to 12 AN to match what I have know?

GPM? Would the TorqStorm’s pump with 3-3.5 GPM be a potential problem for my hydroboost?

Am I making to much out of nothing and should just go with the TorqStorm’s Pump, so everything goes together correctly?

I have no experience with what you're dealing with, but, lots of real world "making stuff work" experience.
I would assemble it the way you need it to be, with the non- PSC parts. See how it goes. I'm willing to wager, it'll be just fine.
 
What doesn't work with the supercharger on the passenger side?

Is it the pump or the brackets that don't fit? As in, is it possible that some bracket fabrication would let you keep the pump? Keep in mind the steel pumps came with a lot of different reservoirs for different vehicles and the pumps interchange in all of them. For remote reservoir you can just buy the kit from PSC: https://www.pscmotorsports.com/psc-sr2545.html

In general, the remote reservoir cans came in 80's 454 trucks like Cardone 208714 https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=30209&cc=1053111&pt=7380&jsn=939.

Here's where I posted an example of two pump clockings: https://ck5.com/forums/threads/illustrated-hydroboost-swap.306221/#post-3266103
