you could buy a 62 corvette with a power top and power windows but not with power brakes or power steering

Not only was it not available in '62, I'm not at all sure how you would get a '63 setup working...the C1 is a king-pin, centerlink system -- an entirely different design. There are aftermarket options though and that may be what you have...

If you post a few pictures of the power steering pump mounted to the engine and from underneath, of the steering linkage, particularly of the power steering cylinder, someone here may recognize it.

Good luck... GUSTO
