Actually, the car in the first picture is a 2nd generation Tempo (88-91), which also happens to be mine! I've been on the T/T owners site since I got it.
The second picture is a 3rd generation Tempo(92-94), so it has a different belt confuguration and alternator mounts. (Also notice the difference in the air boxes!) The 3rd gens still do have power steering, but it sits slightly lower. I believe the air conditioning compressor is in a different place on the 2nd and 3rd gens. I'm wondering if the alternator mount from a 3rd gen will fit onto a 2nd...
Just a note, manual steering was NOT an option for 2nd and 3rd gen Tempos (88 and up), only the first generation (84-87). However, the manual rack from an 85-90 Escort works perfectly.
I went to look for an idler pulley at the local parts stores, but it looks like something will need to be custom made if I'm going to go that route. My other option is install a new plugged-up PS pump to replace my siezing one.
