Presumably you mean removing the power rack, hoses, reservoir, and pump, and installing one of the rare '79-80 EMS manual racks ...
Other than what you mentioned - you have better road feel. The "feel of the road" through a manual rack is delightful and is what the designers of European cars with power steering attempt to emulate. Today's Saabs are pretty darned close, but exactly matching it with standard hydraulic assist units is impossible.
Then there's the great looking biceps, triceps, and forarms you will develop.
