" I'll guess at 74 or earlier (how much earlier I don't know) 6 cylinder pump,
" hoses, pulleys, steering box. In 75 the pump was moved to the driver's side and
" a mounting point was cast into the intake manifold for this. If you switch to a
" 75-80 intake you can use the later setup. 

i'll agree, if you can find an amc with the entire setup, for another
reason: in '75 iirc, saginaw dropped the old manual steering box
pattern and started making all their manual boxes with the p/s
pattern.  i presume amc modified their frame horns accordingly, so a
later car wouldn't have the adapter i think you'd need.

if you have to piece the setup together, the chevy vega p/s box has
the manual-box pattern and it's popular with hotrodders for this
reason, so it's easy to find them.  iirc it takes the manual-box
pitman arm too.
