You will need a power steering box. Best bet would be to try and buy a new one.
Unfortunately most places want an exchange unit.
You will need a power steering pump and bracket to suit your donk. The pumps are readily available from parts shops.
You will also have to change the steering arms to the short ones on the stub axels and a pulley for the pump that fits on your harmonic balancer. .
Most Holden wreakers should have the bits you require. Don’t buy the pump from them just the brackets, maybe the steering box for exchange for a new one, steering arms and pulley. The pump lines get them made new from EZED.

V8s power steering set ups are easier to come across than 6 cyl set ups.

I don’t think I have missed anything, steering boxes exchange are around $280 all up expect to pay between $600 to $800 for the set up.
I dont know anyone who could do the work for you, but its a very simple conversion. You should have no real problems.
