if a car has power steering, how easy is it to remove?
is it as easy as losing the belt, removing the pump and presumably blocking a pipe/hole or two?
i once had to help push a car when the engine had died, and it took two of us to steer it (mondeo) as power steering obviously dead as well

so you wanna remove cos of the chance it might break? thats like saying you wanna remove the exhaust cos your worried it might break and be loud for a bit of time until you get it fixxed!
but in answer to your question, no, p/s and manaul racks work very differently, you'll need to get a manual rack fitted to your car.

or are you doing a fez
if its an escort then the engine will go in and you just take the pump off the block
use the escort sterring rack

but if we buy the 1800i, we don't want PAS.
