I did it it mine, just looped the hoses together off of the pump. It wasnt a permanent fix. I went to advanced auto parts and bought a manual rack and 2 new manual tie rod ends. Way cheaper than the flaming River parts. At the time they offered a connector piece to go from the power steering rag joint to the manual rack. That eleminates the need for the new manual steering shaft. I am not sure if the adapter is still available or not.

prolly a terrible idea to do for any extended period of time...

I have been doing it for a year and it was alright, but i didnt care since i new i was doing k-member and fr manual rack. I would say its fine because of my experiance.

Besides i would spend the money on the fr only because you get what you pay for with other products.
