You could do it either way. The power steering pump fitting is cheaper to replace than the gearbox.

Since the gearbox is spent... I would get a 1980 gearbox that has fittings that match the hose for the 1980 pump... then you can just use the 1980 pressure hose.

The return hoses are real easy... just get SAE J2076 hose and some properly sized self compensating constant tension band clamps.
