I've had several power steering deletes over the years, V8 cars included, the latest being the Sport Coupe. Yes, IMHO driving through the mountains w/o power steering is no big deal. The lack of power assist is mainly noticeable from stops, while parking. Once moving the effort required is minimal. That said, I don't know how much fe credit to assign to it, although it isn't nothing. On the 'Coupe I didn't even delete or loop the lines; just pulled the belt off and let 'er go.
