Default Power Steering Install

At present I have the motor out of the car for some repairs and was wondering if now was the time to install power steering. It has arm strong steering now and was going to do it next winter but seeing as the motor is out now should I do it this winter. (no project for next winter if I do but it should be easier with the motor out) How difficult is it to add everything if the motor is still in if I do it as next winter's project?

Depends on your means of raising the car. If you have a lift it shouldn't be very difficult at all. The power steering pump may cause some problems, but not sure. It is definitely easier to do when motors out. That would be a key time. If you do that this Winter, then you have to come up with another winter project next year. That is a good thing.
