I am putting a fj60 PS system into my lv with a chevy V8. Has anyone produced a bracket for the pump or am I going to fab one?

You're thinking too hard.
Just use a plain old saginaw PS pump on the 350. No reason to reinvent the wheel, and the PS pump is one of the few non-Toyota parts I'd be happy with. It it fails, worst that happens is that you don't have PS for a while. Nothing that leaves you stranded, no safety issues if it fails....
That's just what I'd do (I wish I would have put a saginaw pump on the 3B, for just those reasons).

Transdapt lists a bracket in their motor mount section.It is for mini trucks getting a v6 or v8 and keeping the toyota pump.Maybe the pumps are similar.Keep up the good work on the Lv and more pics please.Part#4571

saginaw pressure?
Is there an issue using the Saginaw pump with the Toyota box? Is there a specific amount of pressure required to operate the Toyota box?

HOnestly for ease of use.. Go grab the WHOLE shebang Serpentine system from a V6 or v8 in the junkyard. WAY easier to tension etc. And I agree, Use Saginaw pump. the V6 and v8 saginaw setups are exactly the same and it's easier to find the v6 setups in the junkyards in chevy vans etc.
You'll need the balancer and will need a new waterpump as they serpentine is reversed.
But I did see nice new pulleys in your pile of parts. so this might not be something you want to do.
