There is a lot to be said for the simplicity of manual brakes and steering. Car stalls, no biggy, it drives the same. No belts, pumps or power steering fluid level to worry about. The 340 I'm putting in won't make a lot of vacuum at idle and that's no issue since I have manual brakes. Just less to brake so more dependable to some degree.
But are their times I'd like power steering still..for sure.
