You have to get the play out of the steering or you'll never get it to stop wobbling completely. There are some adjustments you can make to the steering box to tighten it up a bit, give that a shot.
If you intend to continue driving minus the power steering then get a power to manual steering adapter made for that purpose, or better yet just get rid of the P/S cylinder and get manual linkage ... that will get rid of a lot of the slop. Don't forget, unlike disks, when you have drum brakes in front you have to make sure you keep them adjusted otherwise the car will be all over the road when you brake hard.
good luck !
