Changing steering gear box

Im going to be installing a new gear box since the seals on mine are blown and leak fluid. I got one from the classifieds from an Iroc and plan on putting it on this weekend. Anything special I need to know about removing and installing it, like do I need to be worried about aligning anything? I just went out and rented a pitman arm remover, so I got that taken care of.

The power steering lines need an 18mm wrench. I have a special crowfoot to get at the lines when I need to pull one.

Get the pitman arm off...take out the 2 lines and the steering shaft from the box, and unbolt it. Reinstall everything. Just make sure you bleed the fluid though.
