gearbox is fine, use the XUD9 box, as for the shafts, i believe the 1.8 shafts are fine. I'd suggest keeping both sets, and see which works
power steering? why would you need that?
get rid of it and use the 1.8 AUX setup
how do you mean an auto bonnet?
the automatic 205's have a raised bonnet, see strictly_dervs new bonnet, it's raised, it's called an auto bonnet as it's from the automatic 205's ; the engine sits slightly higher i believe? either way, a bit more roomy
stayed up late reading through strictly_derv's thread I'm very keen on this idea, after all everyone needs 2 cars!!
Hope that helps.
EDIT:
Auto bonnet; but would probably have poor air flow to it.
