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.
What are the options for a hydroboost? I’ve seen new systems run above $600 and I’ve seen people convert an early 90s Astro van for under a $100.
