Non Power Steering Conversion

I just bought an 86 RX7 Base model without power steering. I would like to add power steering. I know I need a power steering pump, bracket, steering rack and hoses. I also believe I need to add the speed sensor computer under the dash. Are there any other required parts I have not mentioned?
Is this a feasable bolt-on conversion? Is the wiring under the hood and under the dash for the speed sensor the same on P/S and non P/S units?

What other models/years can I get these parts from?

Any advise on this conversion would be appreciated!

I will trade you my PS for your manual rack.

You don't need it, and you will be thankful for the extra room you have under the hood that the PS pump and bracket take up.

IMHO, I dont see the benefit of doing this. Its a whole lot of work and parts.

But if you really want to do it, hey, I'll sell you one. I have everything except one hose ....I think....I even have the AC compressor
