Default is this what i need to convert my car to manual steering?

im thinking about converting my 78 302 into a car with manual steering (my current powersteering is bad) instead of power steering since im going to school a long ways away and thats just 1 less thing to tear up on the car, what all do i need to do this, im looking at this flaming river rack on ebay, what else do i need besides this?FLAMING RIVER 1974 -1978 MUSTANG II MANUAL RACK FR1502:eBay Motors (item 370231374731 end time Jul-27-09 23:35:34 PDT)

New tie rod ends. Double check the shaft from the steering column to the rack to make sure you still have the proper length. May have to change it out also.

There are 2 different size mounting hole on the rack. Make sure that you measure your distance between the bolt holes. I bought a new one and went to mount it up and it had the wrong mounting points.
