If you are going to use it off road at all, I would 100% recommend a cooler.
Yes, it would eventually work all the air out of the system, the more you use it.  If the pump didn't squeal when you first started the engine, then it must have been primed good enough.  I would still check the reservoir fluid level everytime after you drive it for the first few times, just to make sure you didn't have any air pockets in the system.

i have no experience working with power steering pumps.
perhaps i can find a v pulley to replace the ribbed one?
must be a way.

if the belts on your 1.3-L are the same as the samurai 1.3-L, then you should be able to use this kit.  You could call them to see if you can buy just the pulley and the pump bracket

i took joesteak's recommendation and contacted "figmo" at roadless.
i got the pulley and pump bracket(didn't need) from him. very good to work with.
thought i'd pass it on........

i mounted the cooler and modified the coolant overflow tank bracket to hold the reservoir.
routed the hoses thru the headlight can.


we'll see how this works in a couple of days.
