Power steering conversion

Where can I find detailed instruction on how to install power steering to my 68 camaro?

Thanks,

I don't think you need detailed instructions. Just find a suitable donor car and ****** it off. Take everything, brackets, pulleys, bolts, etc. Do a thorough vulture job. Power box bolts right in place of your manual box. Toughest part will be removing pittman arm from the steering link. Definitely buy or rent a pickle fork for that part of the work.

BTW, there are guys who want to ditch their power steering for a manual box. It's lighter and doesn't suck power from the engine. Some guys will do anything for a tenth or two. Anyway, post on the boards to see if anyone wants to trade.
