New steering gear box

[BB73Challenger]

OK it's new to me.

If anyone remembers ( been a while since I've posted last )  I have power steering and have been on the fence about converting to manual.
I scored a manual gear box for $40 - so I will be trying the manual route.
The way it looks, I will pull the pump ( easy part ) then pull the gear box itself.

Here is where I need some help.

1-It looks as if pulling the box will require a temporary motor movement to clear big block, right?   
   I'm thinking take motor mount bolt out and lift driver side of the motor.
2-Will I be able to run my same pitman arm from the power box now on the manual?
3-I'm thinking while under here, replacing the rest of the steering goodies, tie rods, sleeves, idler arm. Is there a good "kit" if you will with all these at a good price?

I DO know that I will need to replace the steering shaft for the new box for the extra length needed - Summit seems to have that covered with the Flaming River Co for just such a thing.

Last question is what about keeping the wheels straight and the steeing gear going straight? I would asume that I should keep the wheels straight, center the number of turns on the gear box and then install.
Any feedback or input would be appreciated - thanks guys!

I am not sure about your car, but on my 71, the pitman arm swapped directly over to the manual without any problems.  I do know the the pitman arms changed sometime after '71-'72 so I am not sure if it will work on your car.

Good luck.

there is a column adapter to extend the column for manual steering
there are a Number of companies that offere front end kits but I usually just get Energy Bushings & Moog parts locally, you can swap to the C body tie rod ends & sleeves , they are larger diameter & bolt right in

Yes, I've read that the pitman on early models went under the drag link while the late were over. I also thought I read that the pitman arm for power could be used for manual, but as I checked part numbers I saw they were different, so I just wanted to hear someone say they did use the same arm on a conversion.

Thanks for the info in the C bods Chryco! As usual you've got the inside info.

Thanks again guys!
