the saxo/106 pump is the one i got, has a resivour(cant spell i know!)on it,also has its own little wiring loom with a relay in so easy peasy to wire just neg,live off battery and ignition switch live. and two pipes to put on.
Its pretty big though so wont really go out of sight,basically putting it low down below where the original was.

I have Saxo pump with integral reservoir mounted on a bracket with the alternator above. The steering is heavier at parking speeds and of course is not speed variable

Earls make a fitting that adapts the rack and pump to a AN fitting they also supply a hose and fittings for the high pressure side. Any oil resistant hose is fine for low pressure return

Fitting is here (http://www.earls.co.uk/earls/adapters/adapters_pt2.html#carburetor) Not 100% but 16mm thread in rack and pump 991955ERL

Power steering hose (http://www.earls.co.uk/earls/hoses/hoses.html#powersteering)
