You'll have to buy a manual rack but I wouldn't do away with power steering if it's going to be used frequently on the street[:D]

i beg to differ i have manual steering with a manual rack and it drives just as good as power steering.  imo i feel like i have better control  with manual steering  stangboi email at boosted93notch@netscape.net cause i belive i have pictures of my motor with everything removed

keep the powersteering and get a smog removal kit at www.50resto.com They sell the pulley you need and it is easy to install. keep your factory belt. thats it.

I got rid of everything but the alternator. Manual rack steers almost as good as power, but has more feedback through the wheel I think.

I like having a/c and power steering. Although I have never driven a Mustang without power steering. I'm on the poormans budget so I have just removed the smog pump and I took some string and ran it around the pulleys in order to get the proper length belt. I believe I had to use an 84.5 inch belt.

Just remove all smog crap and get a shorter belt

i drove a very well handling car before i got my mustang, which has no power steering, and i honestly think my mustang handles better.

Zstangboi. I have a manual rack for sale, with inner and outer tie rods attached... $100 plus shipping.

I hate to steal the forum but,would that rack fit a 92 mustang?  And i have driven my mustang with no power steering in the pump and it was not bad at all.  It only got bad when i was barly moving.  With the manual rack be a little bit easier or the same?  i need ither a new power rack or manual conversion.........

yes having the proper rack will help out a lot
