Guys with powersteering deleted come in have a street strip 02 SS i still drive it alot around town it isnt a trailor queen. im just trying to squeeze everything out of her. i dont really want to delete the HVAC although its crossed my mind but how much weight would i lose deleting the power steering?
guys with manual steering how harder is the steering compared to power? i know on skinnies it wouldnt be that bad but on regular 10" wide tires i imagine itd be quite different. opinions please.
thanks

No PS I did the no PS for a while and I agree = Armstrong steering.
I then went to a Spohn manual rack and it's much better. Bolted right in no problems.
Though the weight savings ? Don't know if that's accurate or not. But on the plus side, no PS Pump drag on the engine Acc. belt !

What difference does an aftermarket rack have over just turning his current one into non p/s?? I would assume manual steering is manual steering. No?? I thought about it on my setup but I am just not ready for a manual rack setup.
OP if you want to see what no power steering is like: get in your car, turn the key to the unlock position, and turn the wheel. If you pull the pump off that's how the car will steer. For the weight of the rack and PS pump go to the weight reduction sticky at the top of the page it should be listed there.

parking is a lil hard. moving isnt bad at all. feels like a big go cart. manual steering racks are geared different to make steering easier than running no PS and the stock rack
the wheel has more turns lock to lock with a manual rack? i figured it would be less turns

It is just like swapping from 2.73's to 4.11's. The 4.11's make it easier for the driveshaft to turn the rear wheels, but the shaft has to turn more revolutions to spin the tire a full rev. In this analogy the driveshaft = the steering shaft.

dfdfd deleting the ps pump will only save 6-7 lbs. The extra hp freed up is pobably not measurable on a dyno. However, it does free up lots of space under the hood.
And who wants those leaky pressure lines anyways... Changing out o-rings gets old.
