yeah, they're probably not so easy to find here in FL

Wouldnt bet on that. I find tons of non a/c cars here. I just never look in L's for many things and especially not manual racks. I can though.

Not recommended, I'd just disconnect the lines let all the fluid pump out, then just seal it. If you leave the fluid in the rack without the pump it's pretty hard to steer.

I dont think it will lock up, however manual racks have a diff ratio to make them easier to turn. 4SFRED4 can comment on the turning. He had it like that on the GLH

Hey....why you calling me FRED?

Yes, you can just run a hose from one port on the rack to the other and get rid of the PS lines altogether and it will work fine. The wheel will just be harder to turn

I didnt try draining the fluid (as suggested above), but that might make it easier to turn.

It may be harder to turn with the fluid but you might still want some in there for its lubrication purposes. Besides a little upper body workout couldn't hurt

True dat, long term with no fluid might not be such a hot idea.
