Yes, your column will need to be shortened as the power steering boxes are bigger and longer than the manual boxes. You can either purchase a piece from Captainfab that attaches to the shortened lower section, or you can go even more custom and add a collapsible steering shaft in the middle. The factory 63 columns are one solid shaft from the rag joint up to the steering wheel
