That is true.

But if I was going to add power steering to a 72

I would go to the local napa and get a
72 Powersteering pump $79
72 powersteering box $195
72 pressure and return hose $80 for both
then get a pump braket for the motor you have.

My '72 convertible is a bitch to turn in a tight parking lot.

You also need a two or three groove crank pulley and a two groove water pump pulley. The early crank pulley's have three bolt holes, the 72 will have a four bolt pulley. I believe they changed from 3 to 4 bolts in mid 1969. Of course there are plenty of 3 hole pulleys available, but the 4 hole units are much harder to find. There is also an in-line fluid cooler as well.
