I have a 67 1st Gen firebird, with Pontiac 389 motor. Its presently a manual steering car. Would really like to add Power steering or rack and pinion. Lost in the haze of vendor options. Is there a way to do this, without modifying the chassis or frame?

If you're still using the factory subframe, I'd stick with a quick ratio box. The cars that we've seen with the rack conversions have had a good amount of bumpsteer problems due to the way they have to mount the components. A tighter box would mount in the factory location and allow you to still be able to achieve a good geometry.
