Does anyone know how much power steering fluid I will need to refill my system after I flush it?

Not much. The pump reservoir only holds a quart. The steering gear hold very little and a little amount is in the lines. Buy three quarts and you will have plenty.

Ahhh, I think your P/S fluid is looking like mine did at 80K, brown, burned and nasty. I drained/refilled mine with ATF+3 2 times to get all the funky old fluid out and then drained and refilled with Amsoil Universal ATF. From what I remember it took 2 quarts to fill the system once it was empty, but Blackdog's 3 quarts sounds like a good suggestion. At 140K now and the Amsoil in the P/S looks like new.

When you guys are saying

'5 spd'

Are you talking about the automatic?

LOL, LOL

Must be, because 4.56's on a manual, would have y9u going about 15mph in 1st gear!

No, I mean manual. I have 35" tires so I can go faster than 15 mph in first gear.
