actually it is relatively easy , you need to find a manual steering box , the steering column will be too short but I believe Firm Feel sells the adapter to make the colunm longer for manual steering

Firm Feel also sells a "firmer" feeling power steering box, though I have not tried one myself.

You should be able to pull you steeing shaft out enough to match the manual box. Grab it with a vise grip then tap the vice grip down to extend it.  You only need to change the steering coupler that fits the manual box with a bigger splined shaft.
