As said, the power steering should be doable. The seat issue may come down to what seat you can fit into the cockpit and how much work is involved in fitting you and the seat into the limited driving area.
I would not consider the kirkey if you have back problems. Not much cushioning in the Kirkeys and extremely rigid and a tight fit. Consider an OEM seat out of Miata or some other small car with a headrest and lumbar support to give you as much cushion and support as possible. You may need to have the floor lowered to fit the seat in and still be able to climb into the car.
Also, consider going to softer shocks and springs to soften up the ride a bit.

An Ididit adjustable steering column might also be helpful to get in and out of the car and adjust the steering wheel once you are seated to a comfortable position.

Each little addition will help but even with all that you have a mountain of issues to deal with. Good luck with your project.
