I bought the TRZ manaul conversion when Cal was running his special. Install wasn't bad. Hardest part was figuring out which route for the steering shaft without hitting headers and oil pan. I decided to use only 2 of the 3 knuckles TRZ provided for the steering shaft to eliminate having to brace what would have been the middle shaft. The stock column shaft was cut off near the firewall and the new shaft fit right inside the original. This allowed us to drill through both shafts and use a bolt to hold the new shaft to the old. This worked best since I can remove this bolt and the shaft will slide away from the firewall.
Total weight loss was around 30# over my S-10 manual box. If you converted from the stock power steering you'd loose closer to 50#.
