Default Adding Power Steering

First, is it best to wait until a 351 is put in to replace the inline 6 before worrying about power steering?

If not, where can I locate a good power steering addon kit, and are they simple or difficult to install?

My 69 has a 351w and came stock with power steering. Looks like it couldn't be easier to add on or take off from the vantage point of already having it on the car. I would wait untill you put the engine in the vehicle because I remember replacing my engine and I had to put on items like my power steering pump and ac compressor after I put the engine in. It was a bitch but shouldn't be too difficult. I mean if I could do it than I believe most peaple can. Don't know where to find the kits. I would by the pump at any autoparts store and the mounting plate/tubes/ect on ebay. Probably easiest like that.

My build sheet indicated that my ‘69 came with power steering but the previous owner removed it. I ended up going to NPD and ordering the pieces required to add back power steering. I also went to a junk yard and purchased all the power steering components to use as cores. I installed all the lower steering components prior to installing the engine and after the engine was in place, added the power steering pump and hoses.
