Adding power steering

So we just got Jen's wagon home and did a preliminary run through it. We want to re-install the ac that was removed, adjust the clutch(releses REALLY high, just replaced. ideas???) and add power steering. This will be her DD so PS is a plus. Shes a tough girl, But she IS little:) Is this a swap that we can get from any other PS equiped civic? sedan, hatchback, does it matter?
AND has anyone here done this?

Thanks in advance guys!

Dan

    I thought one of the power hoses are model specific. Could be wrong though.

    What I do when I want to check interchangeability is check on www.hondaautomotiveparts.com Just click you want to but it and then if you go to another car and see that the same part is highlighted red then it means its interchangeable.

    But just about everything should change over except one main hose, but I could be wrong. I'm actually getting ready to de-power steering mine, but I will probably hold on to the parts for future use.

    im doing that same thing right now on mine actually. but i dont know if i can really help because i found a wagon at the junk yard with power steering. only thing i can think of would be the power steering lines that might not fit directly. but you could always bend them

    ohh... and something i forgot. the power steering rack is a little bigger around so the framing that the manual rack bolts into doesnt quite fit the power rack. i didnt realize this when i got everything from the junkyard so im gonna be going back. my friend that was helping me said we could just grind that part out but... i decided ill just get the right part.

    Dan, I have a auto/PS parts car. Shipping would be ridiculous, but let me know if you need its pieces.

    the ps rack from the first gen integra will fit. it will also have a quicker ratio then the civic to :D
