The steering linkage will bolt up, but I think you may need a different pump, pump bracket and pulleys for the BB. Dennis

The pulley will need to be changed to a 2-groove cast iron as well as all the mounting brackets.

You'll also need to replace your alternator brackets and alternator pulley. BB power steering has an adjuster bracket with adjustment slots for both the PS pump and the alternator. That bracket has a mounting "ear" which fits on a special stud screwed into the frontmost bolt hole on the driver side exhaust manifold.The alternator is hung from a two piece bracket that bolts into the driver side cylinder head. There is also a support strap that extens from that same position to one of the PS pump bracket bolts.

The alternator pulley is equivalent thickness to a two-groove pulley, with a "blank" space between the alternator and the belt groove.
