Default Steering Rack Question. Power To Manual Steering

I am doing the 302 swap in my ranger and i am doing manual steering. I have already capped off the lines on the rack and pinion (keeping some fluid in it) and i was wondering if that would last a long time if i just steer with it like that, no fluid going to it but fluid in it. Thanks

Mostly because the mechanical fuel pump is in the way of the mounting holes on the drivers side head and for the extra horsepower
