I've driven a depowered s13 before and imo there is no advantage.
ae86 feels great with manual steering, but its also a fairly light car

I would be willing to bet the S13 wasn't de-powered correctly. Removing the lines and draining the fluid isn't enough. You need to cut the piston off the rack gear like I said. S-chasis steering is really pretty numb and doesn't re-center well. It's not terrible, but go drive some M3s and Porsches, it's not that great. Correctly executed a manual steering conversion vastly improves both. S-chasis guys don't do it because they're all drifters. When you're going from lock to lock repeatedly the increased effort is going to be tiring, especially with funny knuckles that screw with the leverage that the steering has on the wheels.
