Can you just remove the power steering pump,brackets and power steering box. Install manual box. That's it? Steering column the same? Pitman arm interchangeable? Car is a 70 340 swinger.

Steers fine and dosn't seem to be any problems in parking lots. Needed room for the TTI's which slipped in with No problems. Adapter went in easily. So far ,so good. Kenny B
