Power steering means what it says. When you lose a belt, hose or pump the steering WILL BE HARD. Manual steering does take more effort than power but it is manageable.

While I've never driven a Mustang with a Flaming River rack, I have driven several different models of cars and pickups with manual steering. Big, heavy vehicles require effort, light vehicles do not. You do get a LOT of road feel{or feedback}. Since the Mustang is relatively light, I would bet that the Flaming River rack is no sweat.

One of these days when $$ is not so tight I will put one on my Mk VII. That is, as long as it is a straight swap or with VERY little modification.
