What should I do?

I remember reading that also. I don't think it's needed if manual steering is used. Right now, the manifold flange hits the end of my power steering box. If the ms box is a couple of inches shorter, the next thing that would be in the way is the coupler. If I go with a Flaming River adapter, which has the u-joint, it looks to be smaller in diam than the box on the oe style coupler. Anyway, I'll find out shortly.
