Power steering goes in the same bin as power brakes - Not necessary on a hot rod...

It is truly up to you, but there are several factors I would take into consideration. What is the weight of the vehicle? How much in town driving? What size front tires? How much of a man are you? (just kidding on the last part)
For myself, I'm looking at an under 2k# vehicle, that is more of a cruiser than in town vehicle, with decently wide front tires. I'm going to forgo it to simplify the setup and make it look cleaner, especially since it's a fenderless front end.

that is a factor of vehicle weight and how bad you tore up the shoulder.
for a lighter car, no. if its a heavy car like a caddy, a 40 something fat fender or 50's to 70's model or heavy truck, then yes to power steering and power brakes (sorry B. E. D
also are ya running fenders & a hood or not running them?
that makes a difference on how clean you want the lines and visable parts of the rod.

I knew it was for a hot rod, that's why I said no.
Big car would be a different story...

No, I just paid attention and answered to his previous posts. That and the fact it is a TCI chassis.

Should be plenty easy to steer without. Plus it keeps lesser men from wanting to drive it.
