2129 hooker headers

My 74 vega has power steering. Can I still use the steering box and disconnect the pump and hoses or do I have to find a manual box somewhere? Have to use the big tube headers because I'm using afr heads, etc

The steering box will work, but it is a bad idea! if you turn the power box with the ports open it will "puke" :sick: power steering fluid until it is nearly dry and then who knows if it will live or not. That power box will feel like you are driving a Semi with two flat tires! It will be hard for sure! I don't know if you can put a loop from the in port to the out port or not I doubt it, a reservoir would likely be needed and even then I figure it will spit fluid everywhere you turn. Harry

The power steering box and intermediate shaft are quite a bit bigger than the manual box. There still might be interference with the large tube headers, even without the lines and pump.
