Steering gear ratio, related questions

I've got a 92 900 turbo with the power steering belt removed. I don't mind the heavy steering for the most part, but it'd be nice to get it at least a little lighter.
Suggestions I've read are looping the hoses on the rack, and looking for a 1979 EMS rack. EMS racks are pretty rare, I take it, so I looked into aftermarket manual steering racks, especially Woodward. This raises a lot of choices that don't come with oem parts, like what gear ratio to use. What gear ratio was the EMS rack? Any opinions of whether it was too heavy/too light?
