Hi - I converted my 1978 to powersteering, have a look at my project thread for some pictures I took.
You'll need a power steering column as they're different to a manual one, a power steering rack, hoses and pump - the power steering pump and bracket should be from a car with a B21 engine (same as yours) as the later pumps have a different bracket meaning the pulleys don't quite line up... although it will work, but the belt won't last all that long and it might squeal.
You'll also need the additional bolt on pulley for the front of your engine, as you'll only have space for two belts currently (and those spaces are used by the belts that turn the alternator, water pump and fan). This might be the hardest part to find actually.
Ball joints - the ones for a manual car are straight, the ones for a power steering car are cranked forwards to increase caster. I have a picture of two different ones next to each other in my project thread.
Cheers
