You'd have to get a manual rack of a donor car and replace the power rack.

I have turned my power rack into a manual rack.
What you essentially need to do is loop the rack in order to keep fluid in it for lubrication properties. There are quite a few threads on H-T and even some on here about it. Do a search if you want to find the specivics. I have 2 hoses (had to get an ntp fitting with a nipple for the input of the rack), one for the input and one for the output of the rack. Join to two with a T fitting, with the single hose going to a resivior to hold fluid and allow the fluid to move. Make sure you have a breather hole punched into the cap of the resivior to allow air to move.
Have fun!

Cons: Understeer is greatly increased because your trying to turn a complete hydrolic rack without the power assist, it takes more revolutions of the wheel to turn the same distance as with a standard rack and pinion with 1/2 the revolutions.
And lastly over time the internal working, pistons and seals in the hydrolic rack will dry up from lack of fluid and the rack will eventually sieze up, making steering the car almost impossible.
