Get an IROC-Z steering gear and throw in there and itll handle like its on rails.

We put one in my dads 71 SS 396 Chevelle and it worked great!

He had to take it apart and put in different stops b/c the Camaro and Chevelle inner fender wells are different so the tires wouldnt rub,but that was it.

No,its not a rack and pinion steering,thats in the 4th gens.

You can get a manual box out an any same generation Camaro,an S10 box will work but you have to get a different pitman arm though.

But if your looking for good handling,I highly recommend that IROC-Z steering gear (steering gear box) and some bigger sway bars.
