You will need the shaft up from the steering box also , the box is deeper , so to speak , in a ps box so the shaft is shorter .

It was a few years ago I did it , not much from memory so you may get away with it . I would like to say an inch but can recall sorry , only thing that makes me think its not much is the guys car it was spend about ten minutes trying to make it fit until I said to use the power steer shaft .
