Bryan:
I have replaced my PS pump also.  I found some direction for bleeding the ps
system in (I think) a Chilton manual.  After the pump is installed, this
reference said to

1) put the front end on jack stand
2) with the motor off, turn the steering wheel from one extreme to the other
3) start the motor, turn extreme to extreme
4) check fluid in reservoir (add if neccesary)
5) repeat above until no fluid drop in reservoir.

Now, that said, I am not sure that this was completely successful, as my ps
pump seems to be a little louder than I would like.  Not obnoxious 'tho and
the steering works just fine.
