Default LT1 in c3 powersteering problem

I just put a 1994 LT1 from a wrecked vette in my 79. After getting everything running properly I have only 1 problem, my steering is either locked up or jumps back and forth uncontrolably when running. Is there a big difference in steering pressure or is it something else. I havent been able to drive my car for 5 years now and this is the only problem I have left to resolve. Any help would be appreciated.

Jason

my 82 did that after putting a 90's camaro serpentine belt setup on it. I put the stock pump in place of the camaros pump and problem went away.
