First are you sure the play is in the box? The stock boxes do have some slop in them but be certain before you attempt to adjust it.
The switch to PS requires new pitman arm,centerlink and control valve. The box is the same for both. If it's the original and from a manual car it may have been over adjusted in the past and worn the gears. I'll PM you a link to help you.

Listen to Gary. He is king of all things corvette steering related.
BTW - my box is better than new Gary. It felt so good that I converted back to a non power steering setup. Thanks!
