Adding power steering?
I know most of you guys ditch the PS in order to save weight and reduce parasitic drag, but i'm kinda used to not having Popeye arms in order to turn the wheels. How hard would it be to add power steering to a car without it. I'm gonna be doing an engine swap soon, so I could do it at the same time. I know I would need a new rack, pump and resevoir and the lines between. Has anyone done this before? Thanks!

Hell I rock a PS rack, etc and no P/S pump cuz the bearings in mine a$$ed out and I definitely don't have popeye arms and it's fine. Even parallel parking isn't that bad... Go work out or somethin' if you're that much of a puss.

Yeah I keep meaning to take mine off and my g/f keeps complaining about how she can't drive it then. I'm going to let her drive my friends 71 chevelle w/o it.
