Power steering conversion

I have a 1968 cj5 with a 225 oddfire and I am in the process of converting it to power steering. I am looking for a pump and brackets for this motor. Anyone know what exactly I should be looking for?

I almost have all the parts in my garage to do this swap myself. I got my power steering pump and bracket off an old Buick in my local junkyard/pick and pull. It was a Buick V8.. Lines up perfectly with the dauntless 225 block. I got the steering box from an XJ at the same yard. I have a friend who machined a mount for the box along with the shaft to go to the column. Im gonna "try" to keep the original column but if that won't work, a column from a 72-75 postal jeep will be my next part to find.

My biggest issue is the exhaust that dumps forward, I still am looking for a new exhaust manifold that dumps to the rear, and looking at the firewall and original steering, don't see how that's gonna work. Lots of head scratching..
