You won't regret it! With those big tires and wheels and a decent load, the hydroboost really gives you peace of mind.
Are you going to be using the stock big block remote reservoir steering pump? If so, you might want to look into a GM 26073040 or similar reservoir; they came in Astro/Safari/Express/Savanna vans with hydroboost and have dual return fittings, but they look pretty much identical to the stock unit, and they're made of welded steel so easy to add/modify a bracket to mount it where you want it.
