Advice needed: 69 BB power steering upgrade

I am going to upgrade my 69 BB vette with power steering.

VB&P offers a manual to power steering upgrade for $1179.99
Tempting enough is a combination of power steering upgrade with a Rack & Pinion System for $ 1778.99 ($529.99 + $1,249.00)

Is the Rack & Pinion upgrade really worth it or would you suggest just the power steering upgrade?
Are there any other cost saving power steering upgrade options out there?
This will be a large undertaking for me. Any advice will be appreciated.

Do you have the list of parts needed to do the jeep conversion?
Who sells them?
