I can give you that anytime Roger,
it's quite straightforward, pretty much.

biggest variable is if you use PS uprights/spindles or non-PS ones.
to do it 100 % right you would want the PS uprights , though you can get by
keeping non-PS ones.

the 'ideal' is to use PS uprights with cast  lower control arms ..
which you will find commonly on 85 1/2 and later vanagons with PS.

the rest of it is just the pump and brackets, the res, the pipes, the PS
rack, the shaft that goes from 'V' steeing box ( my term ) to the PS rack
..and the smaller PS steering wheel is nice too.
