My 1991 GTI 16V swap had the power-steering removed and the proper rack installed. I loved it, light car rev happy and because it was the oem style rack the ratios were good. My buddy's 1972 Chevelle big block has the manual box as well, his is a bit special to park but some people like simplicity too. Less moving parts, less to break or leak.
It isn't for everybody but different strokes different folks. I like having a car that I can work on, but then again I opted not to do it 9-5 therefore it is still a hobby. I drive a daily beater that gets 100-150 kms every 2 years then replaced and my project gets worked on. Part of the enjoyment is having something you built not the same generic thing your neighbor has. It might take me another 10 years to finish it but its mine.
