You will need longer hoses as the Chev ps box mounts on the other side.

Forgot about that Rob and also the coupling and bolts that joins the box to the steering shaft. ds

I remember having major trouble getting the drag link to seperate from the steering box when I did my power steering upgrade aswell, those tapers tend to hold on well after 30 years!

It took alot of swearing and belting the absolute crap out it to get it to seperate! I was using an old axe handle on top of the pin and a mash hammer to knock it out! Shocked It eventually gave way. I would try some super release agent (I wish I knew about this stuff back then) its great stuff, should do the trick... good luck!
