To be on the safe side I'd say '62-'64.
The steering shaft is shorter for the power steering. The coupler is a different diameter at the steering box so you need one for power steering. Some are using aftermarket steering boxes. Then whatever steering pump you decide to go with you'll need the correct brackets, hoses, pully. Then at least a double pully for the crank shaft. For a big block, 440 Source has the pullys. And brackets for the Saginaw pump.
I recently converted my '62 to power steering from a manual. I really like it.

I did my 65 from manual to power. I used the column out of a 64 sport fury. My car is a 4speed. I sent the pump out
for rebuild and bought a rebuilt box from an auto parts chain. Everything fits and work good with no leaks.
But I STRONGLY recommend getting an aftermarket performance steering box. in my opinion the stock box is to over-power.
the car was a totally restored.
