Installing a new/old power steering box

I picked up an 89 (I think) WS6 steering box a while ago, and have yet to install it. Its been sitting in my garage for the whole time, with only towels stuffed into the holes where the fluid goes . Do I have anything to worry about when instaling it? Are there any seals that coluld have been dried up? Thanks!

not really. If it hasn't been 'rode hard' it should be ok. that is a real stout unit out of all the different F-body configurations.

Cool! Thats what I was hoping to hear Now I can FINALLY put this freakin thing on! I cant wait to feel the difference, my current box is worn out, and I believ my tie rod ends are getting bad. Hopefully I can tighten up the steering and fix the loosesness all in one shot.

Thanks for asking this, Scott; I have the same thing in my basement. (It's been there for years... maybe it'll go on this summer!)
