I have the Haynes manual which tells me what to take it out but since I'm taking everything out at once I wondered in what order I should remove all this ****. Any experience with this? The AC condenser looks like it will be tough to get out.

You have to remove the PS first I believe

remove the ps steering first. when it comes to the condenser do the top bolts first but don't take them out all the way until the bottoms one are completely loose. the bottom ones will actually stay in somewhat until the condenser comes out.

I'm swapping a manual rack and pinion in and I had a manual FC before so I'm used to it. I know it won't give me much power gain... I'm more looking for the weight savings and the feeling of better control with manual when racing. Through slalom sections especially, I tend to jerk the wheel more than I need to because the P/S is sort of misleading.... With manual, you can tell just how much you need to steer since you can feel it better depending on your speed, etc. That's my take anyway from having both.
