That looks to be every think you need, but make sure when you fit he steering box that there is equal distance (number of turns) from the straight ahead position to either lock (full left and full right),
also bolt the steering stops on the swivel hubs right in to gain the max steering lock because It is a very long vehicle, and make sure the steering wheel is straight a lot of people end up doing it twice but they for get to do this.
 
Can't see the pully in any of those photos, is your original one a double?

Fitting is easy enough, just look through the Haynes (the Restoration Guide has some good diagrams & pictures) and you will see how to it all fits together and how to bleed the system. It's not a retrofit guide but it really is self explainatory when you look at it.
Took me under 4-hours from start to finish when I did mine, bigest problem can be undoing the crankshaft bolt but a crankshaft locking tool makes this a breeze as well as making it easy to correctly torque it up again afterwards.
 
Must be hiding then becasue all I can see is the pump, hoses & bracket.

Crankshaft pully. As I said, required unless your original one is a double. Don't forget a new belt as well.

Would the original have to be a double to run the alternator anyway? Or do non power steering engines run just one big belt?
 
It is running a Vee-belt which means you have one for the water-pump & alternator and a second for the PAS. Unless lucky and a double pully is already fitted (can't see why if the vehicle has never been fitted with PAS) then a double crankshaft pully is required.
I went down this road with my old 90 nearly 15-years ago and had to do exactly the same. When I later changed engines (for a 300TDi with flat belt) I forgot to remove the double pully from the front of the old engine (I had retained the old single pully for the purpose of retrofitting in when the time came) which reduced the value of the PAS kit when I sold it on.
