I am in the middle of making the brackets for the accessory motor and the A/C. I've decided to dump the power steering for now, from what I have read it takes too much power to operate (5-8.5 HP!).

I'm looking into Electric Power Steering units, but for now I'm either going to leave it alone or loop the lines together for a poor man's manual steering.
