power steering ? AGAIN
OK, before you start posting all the "SEARCH" pictures, I already searched and couldnt find what im looking for. im swapping my engine and while i have it out i want to switch from PS to Rack/pinion. i need to know if this is difficult and essentially, how to do it! this is my first time doing this so any help or even a link to a thread that tells you how to do this would be GREAT! thanks

You already have rack/pinion; it's power-assisted. The turning ratio is different on the rack itself, but most people just remove the pump and leave the "power" rack in place rather than using an original manual rack. Here are some threads:

And yes, I found those using the search button.

If I loop the lines together and remove most of the fluid, how hard is it to turn the wheel when moving slowly or stopped? I want to clean up my engine bay a bit while I'm replacing my engine and if I can just do away with my PS pump & lines and leave the PS rack in there with looped lines I'd be a much happier guy.

Did you remove any of the fluid? What makes a PS rack so hard to push around at a standstill is due to the large amount of fluid still in the rack. What I'm trying to get an idea of, is the difficulty of turning the wheel using a PS rack with much of the fluid siphoned out.
