Would you be better off running a manual rack?

I would keep it power and add a set of these brackets:

You will like driving your truck so much more with power steering.
Yes, I have the power rack run manually because I couldn't find brackets. Thanks for that link, btw!! Nate had even given me the name of Alan Grove, but he had nothing, so I ran it manually. I called Unisteer and they told me it's been done, but the teeth on a manual rack are deeper and engage better. Trying to muscle the truck around definitely makes for a less enjoyable and responsive feeling truck.
I have also been thinking of keeping the EGR(?) pump on it since you never see those left on, and having someone fab brackets to keep the PS pump in between that and the alternator, which I also need to upgrade since it's only a 65amp. I'm guessing a CS130 at 100 amps could be the ticket for the two compressors. I have no radio, AC, electric fans...
