Power steering Delete

Has anyone changed their power steering over to manual steering, and if so how do you like it?

I assume you would just remove the power steering pump and bracket and install a manual steering box. Anything else? Does anyone manufacture a manual steering gearbox for the newer f-bodies?

There's nothing wrong with my power steering, it just seems a bit un-natural in this type of car.

Then you need a manual steering rack and the adapter to run it. The manual steering rack requires that you weld a bracket on the k member.
