You would be better off replacing all the steering parts with new manual steering parts. New pitman arm, new drag link, new tie rod ends. All these parts are available new from Autozone and Advance Auto (Autozone is usually cheaper) Vendor that makes these parts is "Rare Parts" It's not going to be cheap, but you'll only have to do it once. You can keep the power steering gear box with it, the only difference was the gear ratio.
