That looks liek a 2e motor to me, your old pas pump setup wont bolt to it unless you also remove all the 2e alternator etc and put your old ones on, which I wouldnt recommend!  Go out and find any 1.8+ MK3 Golf with PAS and steal all the pas brackets and pullets from it, they'll boltright up to that block plus its a much better setup than the MK2 system!

no you need all the mk3 pas pump, belts, brackets and pulleys :)
There is 2 brackets on the bottom of the block, plus an extra one with the pas pump inside, take these plus all the bolts that hold them on. Alos there is an extra pulley bolted to the crank pulley, I would just pull both crank pulleys straight off the car.
P.S. the ABF pulley is no good to you should you happen to stumble across one, but I'm sure you know if you did find an ABF pulley you would want to take the whole engine not just a pulley ;)

it will if you use all the old digi alternator & pulley setup as well, but as I said to sidecarphil, if you can keep the MK3 setup its much better!  The MK2 lines fit straight on the MK3 pump if thats what you were worried about, thisis what I had on my old 2e block and also on my ABF :)

So it will fit as it is. Just a mk3 setup would work better.

indeed!  if you've ever done a pas belt on a MK2, then done it on a MK3 you'll know exactly why I always recommend the MK3 setup ;)
