Power Steering Fluid Amount

Power Steering Fluid Amount
I searched for the answer to this question in rebuild threads and other power steering threads, but could not find the answer. I am replacing the high pressure power steering hose on my 1989 VZE 2wd pickup.
Does anyone know about how much ATF fluid I should buy beforehand in order to refill the whole system after draining it?
Thanks in advance...

I found someone saying between 1 and 2 quarts in another thread. Hope that's right and can help someone else too.
Between a quart or two of ATF, not power steering fluid unless installing complete aftermarket steering that requires ps fluid like full hydro, then use expensive synthetic stuff. Fill up reservoir. Put front on jackstands. Run engine. Cycle steering 20 times. Let it sit 30 minutes for air to get out. Repeat until no bubbles after cycling and then fill reservoir to "hot" line. Works for hydro assist too.
