want to take power steering off car,can i just take the lines off and plug the holes,or do i have to put a new non power steering assembely on?

The "correct" way is to pull all the Power stuff off and install a manual steering box. I have been running my power box "non-power" for quite a while. My sons Nova is the same way. Just unhook the lines, Blow out the fluid from the box, (use rags to catch the fluid, This can be messy) add a hose from one port to the other. (This is to keep dirt out of the box but allow any left over fluid to move freely to prevent any pressure bind.)

how are things working for the non power-power conversions? i want to do the same thing.

I am in the process of putting my car back together. It was a 4 drum / non power steering car and I chose to keep manual steering. Everyone keeps asking me why I don't convert to PS. My reply is, it is just a squeak and a leak and once your moving you don't need it anyhow :P

When you're running 275mm tread width on the front, manual steering gets old fast!

once your moving it isnt so bad. :)

I just ran a hose from 1 port to the other on the box itself. It is harder to me than a manual steer from the factory.
