The performance racks are 15-1 and 2.5 LOCK TO LOCK. Big advantage than a 20-1 Rack. just saying!!

I have driven manual steering vehicles, including my 81 year old grandma's 81 mazda pickup truck...

People are just too soft now a days in my opinion. Although I have never owned a manual car, I have no problems driving one, and greatly prefer it. Ihave had my power steering pump go out and driven the car like that for some time before replacing it, without issue. I am a bit bigger guy though.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.
