MRGTX,
I switched and I love it. I don't think I'll go back to power steering in the near future. Too sloppy for me.
Also, you can use a collapsed column from a B-body and it works great. Just don't try to extend your A-body column. Some people will tell you that this is fine, but this is NOT safe. You want the two column shaft pieces to be engaged as far as possible, while still allowing for some movement in the event of a car accident.
PM me if you have any questions.
