Default Manual Steering

Hey guys I am working on my 83 with a 302 in it and wondering what you think about switching my power steering to a manual steering set up. I was going to go pick up a Fenco refurbished manual steering rack and pinion. I am on a budget.

That is a link to the set up and I was wondering if it will bolt right up to the car as is or if some more work would be required?

Thanks in advance

The manual rack should bolt right on right? I think manual steering will happen eventually my Dad was telling me its not that hard to control and you can actually feel the road better.

Yeah it bolts right up, then you need to get an alignment...
