It depends entirely on whether the '71 is an early or late model.
The Pitman arm and linkage changed mid-year, so if the donor vehicle is an early-'71, the Pitman arm on that PS box will work with your existing steering linkage. If the donor truck was a late-'71, then you'll either need to find the early Pitman arm to work with your existing steering linkage, or get all new steering linkage to match up with the Pitman arm.

No.

I would think any major parts supplier could get that drag link and tie-rod ends. When I rebuilt the front end on my '67, I got the polygraphite front-end kit from PST (
http://www.p-s-t.com ). When I got mine the drag link was available as part of the kit, but it doesn't appear to be true anymore....at least it doesn't show on their site.
Also, you don't appear to have gotten all the bracketry to mount the pump to the block. It's a two-piece bracket set, and you've only got one (as pictured, anyway).
