A properly sized manual master cylinder can generate the same clamping force as a power assisted one. It just takes a little more effort to push the brake pedel. And since he has already ditched the power steering, I assumed he was physically capable of applying that additional push.

But your point about extra stopping power is a good one. I would suggest some larger diameter rotors on the front with some 4-piston calipers and an adjustable proportioning valve to set the front-to-rear bias.
