Input for converting from power steering to manual: the intermediate shaft is different. The manual input is longer as illustrated in his picture. So you will either have to find/buy a manual steering intermediate shaft or cut your existing power steering shaft and install a U-joint (which is what I did). I don't remember off the top of my head which U joint I got from Speedway Motors, but IIRC, one end was a 3/4" round hole. I cut my shaft to length, turned the end down and welded the u-joint to the shaft. Here is an older pic of how it fit in my car with headers....
