Your back will thank you for getting rid of the cast iron intake for anything aluminum if you ever have to pull the intake in the car.
I used to pull them by hand when I had too, but anymore if I have to remove one of those cast iron monsters in car, the cherry picker does the work.
A couple of other things comes to mind aobut these old birds.....
It seems like they take kind of an odd ball power steering pump and bracket, and I'm not sure of there is enough room fro the newer style setup in the engine bay.
Here is a link for a PS bracket just in case (price seems pretty good)

The pump itself looks something like this.I've NEVER seen a car come from the factory that couldn't be improved.....
