Look for a steering box from the square box style body s10, the early years '81 and up. Turning/steering won't be a problem while moving. It will be a little stiff when sitting still but will be fine as soon as you start rolling.

The advantages are; no pulley drag from the pump to the crankshaft [free horsepower] and less weight [less weight is faster]. I have a very light regal, 2500 lbs. It has been gutted, has a fiberglass front clip and I run 4" wide tires on the front. Steers easily with one hand, just like power steering even when sitting still.
