I bought a used box from an '85 Monte Carlo SS to put in my '69 Malibu. With the MC pitman arm on it, it has about 1/32" to 1/16" play measured at the tie rod end of the arm. Is this acceptable or should/can it be adjusted out before installing the box?

You can adjust it but dont get it too tight.

This paper describes how to adjust a Saginaw power steering gear.

You will need a torque wrench that measures in inch-lbs.
