lol

manual = difficult

power = easy

pretty much if u have manual brakes, your gonna have to push harder and when stopped hold on longer. after driving my moms car with power brakes it was a strange transition but after like a day they were fine. there only annoying when waiting at a stop light. il add a booster when i get the money (already have disc brakes)

for manual steering itll be tight to turn. manual steering doesnt really move when the car is stopped lol. when u have power steering it is easty to move the wheel when stopped. this only can create a problem parking in tight spaces. i have rack and pinion right now but i wanna make it power sooon

i think all you need is that booster some vaccum line and youll have to bend your brake lines some since the master clyinder will sit out more from the firewall

I'd take power steering over power brakes anyday!! If the drum system works fine and stop the car why mess with it, however on the otherhand if turning is a pita why not correct it with a steering upgrade???

No, you can't just add an OEM style booster because the pedal attachment is different from a manual brake car. NPD amd Mustang Depot have aftermarket boosters that require no pedal modification but you may run into clearance issues with the master cylinder. I went with MustangSteve's modified pedal and a Ford booster for my 4-disc brakes. Works great.

Absolutely. The powersteering pump and related parts have absolutely nothing to do with your brakes.
