You will need to remove the bolts connecting the column shaft to the power/ non Power Steering box (under the hood). Disconnect the wiring plug at the base of the column inside the cab. There should be a rubber boot or gasket in the firewall which the column goes through be careful not to damage it, unless you well be replacing it. You should see a thin metal plate held up with 2 bolts which covers another rubber gasket just at the point where the column meets the dash bezel. The bolt heads are facing down towards the floor. Remove the bolts, remove the metal plate, the rubber gasket that the thin metal was covering can be slipped off the column once removed to use on the new column. Finally there will be a u shaped bracket holding the column to the brake and/or clutch mechanism Basically 6-8 inches from the point where the column meets the dash bezel, further down the column They are kinda hidden. So lay on you back with your head towards the firewall, with a light you'll see them. Hope I haven't missed anything good luck 1.5hr job if all goes well.

Manuel steering on a 1983 camaro?
I converted my power steering equipped 84 Firebird to manual steering by using a manual steering box from a Chevy S10 pick-up. It was a simple bolt in replacement. And of course you have to use a shorter accessory drive belt after removing the pump. Steering effort when car is moving is not bad at all. Parking is another story, especially with 245/50 tires!
How do you know power steering pump is bad?
There are a couple symptoms of a bad pump. If your pump completely goes out you will lose power steering altogether, and steering will become quite difficult. Another symptom is you will hear a very audible groaning sound from your car when you turn the steering wheel. Hope this helps! Before replacing the pump though check your power steering fluid level, if it is low add fluid and see if that helps.

there are two switchs in the steering column meaning pull back it hits a switch to flash and when you push it forward there is another to make them stay on. sounds like you need to replace the switch should be as simple as removing the steering column cover.
