It's so cold without a heater in a vehicle when it's freezing out it's not even safe! The rest,I don't see a problem. I don't see why having a 292 would be an issue,plenty of power there. I didn't have power steering or brakes in many vehicles and never missed it. I felt safer in snow with manual everything because the brakes weren't so touchy,the transmission holds you back,and power steering takes a lot of "feel" out of steering.
Heck,the mountain folk got by without 4wd while city slickers felt they needed it where the snow is cleared withing hours from falling.

Municipalities and Maintenance shops often order heater (and radio) delete so that the employees don't want to spend time in the truck. I had a friend that worked in a repair shop for Roadway. They got a new/used shop truck and the first thing they made them do was remove the radio, heater hoses, and a/c compressor. I agree with you about defrost though, seems dangerous not to have that at least.
