Specifically how do you differentiate between a manual steering column from a power steering column in 67-69 A body? Can the power column be modified for a manual steering box? Thanks

The steering shaft is shorter on the power steering column. You can always swap just the shaft from a manual column to the power steering column if you want to change the original power steering column to work with a manual steering box.

There is an adapter that is made to use the power steering column in a manual steering A-Body.
