if it's like 'regular' Subaru engines, the PS pump goes to the left of the
alternator.

it only took 25 seconds to find this picture via google .....

that black square can thing in the picture is the PS resevoir bolted to the
top of the PS pump of course.
Doesn't say if it's a 93  engine ..but all the four cylinder ones I've seen
are just like this.

The PS and alternator are run off one belt, so actually ...it takes a
'trick' to have no PS.
Like something homemade usually..
the aluminum bracket for the PS pump is what the alternator uses for belt
tensioning ...
maybe you already have the PS bracket still on.

the hardest part should be adapting the high pressure Subaru line to the
same on the vanagon lines.
And that's not hard to get done at the right kinds of places...like where
they make up  hydraulic hoses n' such.
