   The PS boxes are GM/Saginaw.  Any mid/full size body GM car prior to 1981 will bolt on as long as the box has 4 mounting holes (some have 3).  You will need the AMC specific PS pitman arm.  The pump/brackets from any V-8 Jeep up to 1981 will also fit.  You will need the rag joint for the bottom of the column for a PS car.  The input shaft of the manual box is 3/4", the PS is 13/16".  I don't know if the frame bracket is the same between manual and PS.

You have to watch, around 1982, GM made the switch from SAE flanged fittings to metric 0-rings.
