Default 71 Firebird with L76, power steering question.

Just starting the complete G8 swap on my 71 firebird, 6L80e and all. I have a question about power steering, if I'm able to use the stock G8 power steering pump, will that work ok with my original steering box of my 1971 firebird or will it have to much or too little pressure? also are there any hoses available on the market for this swap?

It will work fine. Look on u tube Gbody James. He has a video on the fittings you will need. Holley sells the fitting for the ps pump.

So other than making the hoses work, the pressure is fine? Cool.
