The H.B.V. would still be connected to the heater matrix which will be in the same place on a 2.2 or a v6. Access should be a little easier I would imagine...

I don't think the 2.2 is equipped  with speed sensitive (servotronic) steering but I could be wrong, if it's not then that narrows down the second problem to either low or dirty fluid or a weak power steering pump.
