yea that wont work...lol it will seize up..and u will have a problem on your hands..lol. just get s a pullapart one. And you can maybe gut it out like you said, but it still may seize up over time. Put some fluid in the rack, and seal it up with bolts. And do the same with the p/s pump, and loop it.
Or you can just use your bf p/s hard lines from the rack, and pair them up with the KL p/s hardlines. thats what i did, if your gonna have to run it, might as well use it..
