Well you for got to add some info about your car. Like what engine RB or B and what head?
do you have any pics of your car? i have a 73 duster i am slowing building up. first if it was me i would just install Manuel steering, would make it a lot easier to get a set of headers to fit. Unless you just want to keep your power steering. I had the 2 inch TTI headers in my 1973 dodge dart with a 440 and Indy EZ heads and the tti worked great, i didn't have to heat or dent any tubes to make them fit. I did have to drill a hole in the inner fender to make getting at number 6 spark plug easier to get to and had to remove the pit-man arm grease zerk. iIt seems like i lot of people dont know but another company makes a under chassis header for a big block abody and they are known as Mad Dog headers.

I'm kind of surprised at how willing a lot of people are to get rid of the power steering on a street cars in order to fit parts like headers for performance gains. I've never driven an A body, let alone a big block A body with out power steering but I had a GTO with a big block Chevy and a Firebird with a Pontiac 350, both with manual steering and both were a real pain to drive in the pits at the track or parking lots or any slow speed maneuvering. For me PS is a must have on a street car, its makes the car much more enjoyable and it adds points or creed to build a car that runs hard without resorting to removing amenities to get there. To each his own. My advice is to keep the PS, you won't regret it.
