Power Steering is Very Sloppy

While looking down at the steering and having someone turn the wheel back and forth, there is a little bit of play between the coupler and the box

I don't think there should be any play there

but there appears to be a lot of play at the point where the steering column goes into the coupler

There could be play there but I would expect it to be minimal.

My car had a lot of play (still has some) but mostly it was the idler arm (67) it was able to move all over the place making it seem like the gear box but wasn't

There is a how-to on rebuilding couplers BTW
