1985 Power Steering Pump

My power steering gear box is going to be replaced soon, and I was wondering if I should go ahead and replace the power steering pump as well? I hit a light pole about two years ago so hard that I actually twisted the splines on the gear. It has been sitting pretty much ever since. It is completely screwed and I was going to replace it next weekend. I am in the process of restoring it now.

Thanks!

If there were metal peices that went thru the pump it wouldn't hurt to replace it.
