I have just changed my engine and gearbox mounts on my escort cosworth .
I dropped the crossmember with the steering rack in situ and the suspension cahnged the mounts and now when i have started up the engine power steering fluid is bubbling up out of the tank????

I think if you open the cap,beware fluid may splill a bit, and turn lock to lock a few times this should get the air lock out.

this is how i did mine iirc.

Remove the negative lead from the coil and crank the engine for a couple of seconds while turning the steering wheel. Method for bleeding power steering.
