Different P/S bracket for headers?

I'm gonna put headers on and my question is. Is there another bracket for the power steering pump for headers. Because now it bolts to the exhaust manifold. Or do i have to modify this one?

For an R4 compressor you have to modify it, which is what yours looks like. A6 compressors have an aftermarket header bracket available. Here’s a thread with a pic.

back in the day what I used on my setup was a piece of all thread, and then multiple washers and nuts. One set to clamp the header down, then a nut on top with a flat washer to be the base for supporting the bracket, and then the bracket with a flat washer, lock washer and then nut on top. It's not perfect but if you do it right it will keep the header sealed up and your bracket steady enough .

You could probably also get some aluminum rod about 5/8 thick or so and drill it and cut it to length to make a spacer but I'd make sure you have a nut clamping directly on the header no matter what, otherwise it will work loose very easily
