1. I wonder if the pump should have a check valve that might be missing?
2. Or perhaps the pedal doesn't return 100% to close the inlet valve from the PS pump. In my setup, I have a threaded pushrod. Are you sure the pushrod is adjusted properly?
If I listen closely, I can hear fluid flowing once the pushrod comes off of the closed position.

Seems some conversions go easier than others. Mine was a nightmare. What ended up working for me was pulling a vacuum on the PS pump reservoir, disconnect the pitman arm and turned the steering wheel about a million times. (engine off)
Did that a few times till it finally worked.
I don't think every one should have the same problems, easiest way is to disconnect the pitman arm, with the engine running, turn the wheel back and forth, lock to lock till your arms fall off. MAKE SURE the pump does not go dry.
Once fluid level has stabilized and no more bubbles can be seen, you're good to go. You might have to let it sit overnight and redo the next day.
There's a lot of hose and several components to bleed out.
