      There is EFI in 89, but it's unique to that year, and only for autos. Manuals had carbs.

        Power steering is a rare factory option.

          A part of me wants to find a power steering rack for my festiva but I like the simplicity of manual steering, but power would be sooo much nicer to have lol

          If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

            My 89' manual must have had an engine swap to an EFI or they switched it from a carb to an EFI.

                My '91 blue GL has PS and a weird A/C system (aftermarket?). The black '92 auto GL is sorta hard to steer, even after swapping the rack in it, so I'm planning on putting the PS in the black car.

                    Your right, the most popular power steering does run the AC line all around the engine compartment, then there is another more simple style that has the AC lines run there normal route and the PS lines simply run past the front of the engine but the kicker is the AC pump manifold is different on both stiles.
                    An idea can turn to dust or magic, depending on the talent that rubs against it.

                      That is also a possibility.

                        Rare in North America. However, very common to German Prides.

                          Yeah, the A/C lines circle the entire engine compartment.

                            Don't forget the rack is completely different too
                            I had a whole setup, but traded it....
