Default Intake Manifold Swap Issues - HELP

I am swapping my 95 intake manifold with a 2000-2001 intake manifold, and noticed that the power steering bracket is not going to bolt back up to the new intake manifold. What is the solution, can I use a 2000-2001 power steering bracket with my 95 power steering pump? I noticed that a 2000-2001 bracket has an idler pulley, my 95 does not. If that will work, is all I need is a longer serpentine belt to accommodate the new additional pulley? My jeep is down until I resolve this, any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I did this swap on my 95 ZJ. Use a P/S pump bracket from a 96 or newer and use the newer pump too. You can use the old pump if you drill out the threads in the mounting holes, but there will be one set of holes missing. You also need a P/S pump pulley from a 96 and newer 4.0. I happen to like the newer bracket because it makes adjusting the belt a lot easier. Use a serp belt from a 96 and newer.
