My power steering system is on its way out on my 93ss. Has anyone removed this system entirely? How does the car drive without it?

It may be ok while driving, but for parking or slow speeds, it's going to suck.

Thanks for the input. I can deal with slow speeds and parking lots. I need to start working out anyway hahaha.
