Hey all, how are you all doing after the feast? I'm just a little heavier.... (oh no)...

I have a 93 4x reg cab 22re. It has manual steering from factory. I found a good deal on a power steering gearbox. I already have the pump and brackets to install. It might be some time though till I get to it, and it's colder than a well diggers backside right now. So, is there something I should do to preserve the gearbox till I get to it? Or is it cool to store it for a short time emptied of fluid?
Thanks.
