Power steering is dead!

Well I went to the movies last night and when I leaving no power steering! so I got home and parked it but I am just going to redo the whole from steering. I was thinking about Rack and Pionion has anyone ever do this in a third gen I hear it is much lighter would it be worth trying to grab one from the junkyard and trasfering my steering over?

I am going to go look at the junkyard and see how they are mounted and what not but I think I could pick on up for cheap at the yard.

to retrofit one on your car you may save a couple pounds, but it will drive much different, and cost an arm and a leg

why dont you just fix it for now, and if your really wanna redo your whole steering system then get all the parts first so that at least while your planning it out your not stuck w/o a camaro to drive.cant cost too much to fix if you go to any local pick n pull and/or junkyard.
