Steering column help

[XcYZ]

I think I have this figured out, but I'm curious as to what others have to say. My car has a standard, non-tilt steering column which means that the steering shaft is hollow and the rag joint coupler is one piece with the shaft. If it was a tilt column, the rag joint coupler would slide off the solid splined shaft.

I need to adapt the column to u-joint to couple it to the AGR rack. One option would be to get a Uni-steer boltt on adapter for the rag joint. I could get a tilt column (not a bad idea). Or could I swap out the steering column shaft?

I've never messed with steering columns so I'm interested in all options.

Oh, for reference, the AGR rack has a 3/4 - 36 spline pinion shaft.
