Trivial. It only draws power when you are turning the wheel. You'll gain a bit from the weight reduction and cleaner enginebay. Dont get the silly idler and reclutter your enginebay though. Just get a shortbelt. If you dont have your a/c then stick with the PS. You'd need to get a forward rotation waterpump and clutchfan too and a shortbelt.
Take it from me. I'm the craziest weight reduction advocate there is. I drove a manual rack mustang twice and HATED it. The road shock goes right up to you. When you hit bumps, it jerks the steering wheel a bit and you have to hang onto that wheel hard. Plus of course the extra effort to parallel park and so forth. Not fun.
For a track only car. Go for it. Otherwise, stick with the PS.
