You are in for alot of work.
Items you need...

Pump
reservor?
steering box
Bracket
belt/pulley

You might be able to get most of the list at a junkyard. I would suggest that you look at a Civic or Accord power steering to get an idea of what you need. I don't have pictures Sorry

If this seems too much try raising the air pressure in the front tires. This will make it a little easier to steer. 32 - 33 PSI

Good Luck
