Just a thought Herb. You could choose to leave the car with manual steering if you like it that way. Unless you want the upgrade to power steering, you could install the pump for the brakes, but just skip the steering box when you plumb it up. If it is anything like the setup in last month's Chevy Hi Performance, you just have two return lines to the reservoir.
If you do want the power steering and it is not too late, have you thought about a box rebuilt to modern specs (higher effort, faster ratio?) from a place like Lee Manufacturing?
