hydraulics and power steering

A friend of mine has his dads old Allis Chalmers WD45.
I am doing a bunch of work on it, as he wants to paint it up, but use it once it's done.
I'm installing a crank driven hydraulic pump, for live hydraulics to run a front end loader.
He also wants power steering, so I located a Char Lynn unit off a Farmall. I would like to make this look clean and simple, so I was wondering if it is possible, to run the Char Lynn power steering off the hydraulic pump. Has anyone done this, or can it be done? This would save me the problem of installing the old power steering pump and plumbing it in.
There is minimal room up front of the tractor, so any and all suggestions would be appreciated. Pictures of how it was done would be nice also. I have seen an original char lynn system on a WD45, but not together with the live hydraulics.
 
You need a tandem pump with one section for steering and one for the loader or option 2 is a pump with a flow divider. More questions?

I'm interested in maybe the flow divider. Can you explain it more? Pictures would help. With the flow divider, I wouldn't have to run a second pump, and would be cleaner looking, when done.

I don't have the room for a 2 section pump. So a flow divider would be the way to go for me. If you want to contact me, use my E-mail, which is mrdestiny58 at yahoo.com.
Hope to hear from you
