Yes, you'll need more power steering fluid. You'll be losing a lot that is in the rack and pinion assembly that you take off. Your best bet is to get a copy of the manufacturer's service manual. That will have pages of steps to replace the assembly along with drawings. You will need to have the car aligned when the project is finished.
