power vs. non power steering FC

Hey guys, whats difference between powersteering and nonpowersteering when u remove PS pump ? is stock non-PS car easier to turn ?
(is it worth to replace ps rack with non-ps rack if i got one and want to have non-ps car ? or should i just remove PS pump ?)

I would just switch the whole rack to non PS.
It just doesnt "feel" right. But thats just my opinion.

Non-power gearboxes are a slower ratio (20:1 v/s 15:1) than power ones. I still think non-power steering gives a better feel for the road, there is less parasitic drag on the engine, its ALOT easier to change spark plugs and just generally gives more room in the engine bay.
