I'm about to, but i'm doing it with the engine and subframe out of the car. I don't think i'd bother if the engine wasn't coming out anyway

Not having power steering is not the end of the world and it's just 1 more thing to go wrong (OK maybe more because there is more than 1 piece to the setup )

its relatively easy to do, just need the pipework, resevoir, and rack to do it. Its not easy to fit though due to access issues but not impossible either.
