Power Steering
 
Well I bought my kit from martin. As I am on a strict budget I didnt have enough for the power steering kit. Does anyone know if this will be an issue or is their another way to do it or can I fab this myself?

I'm not sure if your asking whether or not having power steering is an issue, or whether setting it up without a kit is an issue?

I didnt build my car, I bought it the way it is more or less so i dont know what power steering would be like. Before i test drove it i was hesitant about it.
Its heavy in a parking lot, but other than that i like it. Even if i had the cash to spend on power steering i dont think i would, id spend it elsewhere. I like it the way it is.
Just my thoughts after owning the car for a couple years. However I dont drive it much, If it were a daily driver I might feel differently.

I cant comment on installing power steering, i know nothing about that.

So yeah My question was do I need it or not or is there a cheaper way of doing it. So since I don't Daily drive it shouldn't be an issue.

I prefer the power steering. The steering is light and easy to use.

The AC bracket should be easy to do but will need a fab shop to weld up the crank pulley. Another guy locally ended up using the Mustang power steering pump and said it was fairly easy to setup. That way you don't need to mess with the crank pulley.
