I've not done it to a 414 but you'll need the rack, the reservoir, the pipework including oil cooler, the pump plus any brackets and tensioners, a new belt and some fluid and patience.

Yes, I did it to the rally car (the PAS rack is "quicker" than the manual).

In addition to ETV's list, you'll also need the subframe as the manual and PAS racks are different diametres and the PAS won't fit in a manual subframe

It isn't a hard job, just lots of little bits that need doing. A long day or weekend job, with good tools and good daylight!
