Your steering rack has nothing to do with your alignment. Tie rods yes, steering rack no.

i just had a power to manual rack and pinion conversion 2 weeks ago on my ed sedan and the only thing that would affect the alignment would be the outer tie rods...!!!

take it to firestone and get a lifetime alignment for $169.99 so that way you can take it to various ones if you dont like what the first store says...there is also a $10 coupon off on the firestone website...!!!
