See if you can drive the car with out it first. My '87 CRX HF has no powersteering, hell, none of the 80s hondas did, but they never needed it with such light weight. Once rolling, it's pretty easy to drive.

Problem is, power steering boxes are harder to steer than manual steering boxes.

Grille blocks have been used successfully by many Civic owners here. And, on the highway, there's plenty of cooling to be had from the bumper vent's I'd wager.
