Question about BMR K Member

I have the BMR K member that uses the factory power steering rack and pinion, its this one.. PART# KM002 - Standard tubular k-member with LT1 motor mounts and factory power rack-n-pinion mounts. My question is that Im wanting to go to manual steering. Will either of madmans manual steering kits bolt up to this k member or am I going to have to change the whole k member?

PART# KM002-1- Standard tubular k-member with LT1 motor mounts and Pinto manual rack-n-pinion mounts. Manual racks available below. $499.95

The madmans will work with any k-member, aftermarket or factory. Only down side is that they're 600 bucks. I just swapped k-members with BMR and bought the flaming river kit.

The manual rack should use a different mount then the power steering rack. You may just need to weld a small bracket on the K-Member for the manual rack.
