You'll need to change the draglink for sure. I'm not sure how your 'tie rod adapters' will fit in there since I don't use them. It will most likely depend on which draglink you switch to. Then of course you will need the power steering box adapter plate and a steering box. If you get a power steering box that is a '69-'79 then it will have the SAE fittings like your current pump does.

Well considering you've already got the tie rod adapters, you could just switch to a '63-66 drag link for manual steering. If you were to switch to a later model draglink such as a '73-'87 (what I use) then you would have to upgrade to the corresponding inner tie rods. In which case you wouldn't need those tie rod adapters.
