PGP stealth by Henry Hastur has the stego support for pgp2 formats and RSA. 
(Aside from stripping boiler plate Hal Finney had observed that you have to
make sure the RSA encryption part doesnt narrow down which key it could be
addressed to.  (A message m > user A's n public value could not be addressed
to A (as m is computed mod n, it is always < n)).

Its C code, quite old and not really maintained but perhaps you could use it
for comparison or ideas.
