The P/S pump bolts can be removed and the pump set aside. Then you can assess the bracket situation. The idler pulley adjusting bolt and idler pulley lockdown bolt both thread into a threaded collar (part # 53010149).
At this age and mileage, I would inspect and possibly replace the sway bushings as well as the links. They are a wear item.
The track bar ball joint was also a wear item that caused road wander when worn. Many times folks blamed the steering gear for the looseness that wasn't the problem.
A factory ZJ service manual may be a good tool investment if you will be doing your own work.
