I extended Mage_CatalogSearch_Helper_Data into my own class and am using it to retrieve a collection of products that have specific manufacturer part numbers. I then display the matching products on a custom category page.

I want to now add the catalog search layered navigation to my custom category page, so I extended the Mage_CatalogSearch_Model_Layer and Mage_CatalogSearch_Block_Layerclasses. I overwrote Mage_CatalogSearch_Model_Layer's getProductCollection method to get the collection created by my helper file.

How do I now include this block in my custom category template?

This should work if you're using the 2 columns layout:

<reference name="left">
  <block type="catalog_search/catalog_layer_view" name="catalog.leftnav" before="-" template="catalog/layer/view.phtml"/>
</reference>

Just remember type will reference the extended block path/filename.
