Adding Power Steer to NA6???

Hi all, considering adding Power Steer to the new NA6, just wondering what parts are required to make it happen, and how hard are the bits to find.
My car has factory air but no steer
not in any desperate hurry as I have several "projects" on the boil with this one to get it to a good reliable daily driver state, but luxuries like steer (and maybe cruise) would be nice

From memory.
Pulley
Pump
Reservoir
Rack
Tie rods
Rod ends (replace them while you're there)
Fluid

Wouldn't this just add weight and lose steering feel? I also have ac and no ps but don't feel the steering is heavy enough to warrant ps. Mind you I've never dríven a model with ps. Maybe it's awesome. Either way wouldn't expect the bits to cost much. Good luck!

Best way is to do a swap. Park the two cars side by side and transfer piece by piece. There are always people who want to delete it just as there always people who want to add it.
