Does anyone here have manual steering on their 87-93 mustang? What's the pro's and cons? I noticed that power steering pumps take lots of turning power to turn to keep running. I think by putting a manual steering instead you can free a little more horse power.

Pros:
Looks better without a power steering pump.

Cons:
Very hard to donuts

Steering is hard until the car is moving than it's just like power but you still have to give it a bit of effort to turn.

Not worth it unless its a track only car.

You can put a very large pulley, like SN95 302s come with to underdrive the power steering pump.
