Running power steering pump without the 'retainer' thing that holds it in place

[r32GTSTI6]

Hey guys, I just put in a new power steering pump and it was the hardest fkn thing in the world (im a complete amateur) and I couldnt get the pump in at the same time as the retainer thing, is it okay to run the pump without it? The pump shakes a little bit without it but im guessing I can clamp it down with zipties maybe? This is the the piece im talking about which I do not have http://imgur.com/a/QZqpL

Fark no.  100% needs the tensioner bracket.  The bracket needs to be bolted to the block first then the top of the pump slides into the bracket. then the bottom bolt into the tensioner.

It will flick the belt off at full noise, you'll lose power steering and prang it into a wall.

Not really worth it is it?  Put it on mate!  If visibility is a problem remove everything that makes it a difficult job.  Once you can see what you're doing it will be easy.  It's only 2 12mm head bolts holding on the tensioner bracket so put that on first before you put the pump in place.
