85 gslse power steering conversion

What would it take to convert my se to power steering. Obviously the pump, bracket, reservoir, belt, pulley and lines. Is it a totally different rack and steering column also? Thanks

I would think it would be too much of a hassle, too much money in shipping costs and too much time spent hunting down the parts to do the conversion. That's just me though, to each their own

Yes. Been doing extensive research. Just not worth the hassle imo.
