I'm assuming you used a kit like this one from Zip:

I didn't see instructions on their site. Perhaps give the seller a call?

A better answer is to check the Shop Manual for your Corvette. The shop manuals I have (79 and 80) do not have the instructions, as power steering was standard equipment by then. I'd sure like to see the written instructions somewhere, as I need to do this very task this winter (I have manual steering on my 80).

Here is a tech article from Corvette Magazine. I believe your answer is in step 14.
