Installing Power Steering on 85 RX7

I have an 85 RX7 I just bought but does not have power steering..Just wanted to know if its any hard to intstall power steering , I read here in the board that it used to be an option on the RX7s to have power steering..So am I to assume that everything to hook up power steering on my RX7 is on my engine?

SO what do you recommend, Can I go to a pick a part junkyard and look for and locate a good Power Steering or should I order a new one..also Do I have to remove the steering column or shaft, or is it a matter of just adding the Power Steering Gearbox

New is not cheap, and used is very rare, and probably to worn to merit the exchange.... Not worth it IMO. Plus w/power steering you can't feel the road as much.
