I’m thinking of taking off the front clip this weekend to test fit the engine to make sure everything looks good before I attach the trans to it.

Hydroboost makes things a lot more accessible than those massive vacuum reservoirs and you aren't depending on manifold vacuum to run your brakes.
If you do Hydroboost I would get a Power steering cooler off a T800 truck... they fit behind the grille on the LH side next to the condenser and radiator opening.
With or without Hydroboost... I highly recommend changing the power steering fluid every 3rd or 4th engine oil change 15,000-20,000 miles or so. 2qts of Delco or an equivalent PS fluid is cheap.
