1996 - Brakes, but no PS

The power steering went out on my '96, but the brakes still work. The problem started when we replaced the seal between the vac and ps pumps due to a leak. CAD doesn't engage either.
What should we be looking at replacing - the vac pump or the powersteering pump? I'm not familiar with these vacuum-assist systems. Thanks.

Chris
