Default Manual to Power Steering Conversion

The following is concerning a 68. When converting to power steering does the relay rod need to be changed or can I add the power steering valves to ithe manual relay rod?

Both need to be changed... you can't use a relay rod from a manual car on a power steering car... and the pitman arm is way different...

Doesn't it also require the frame brace on the driver's side that the power ram connects to?
There is none on a manual setup....correct?
