Survive without power steering?

I have a 1999 9-5 with over 240k miles about at the end of its life (rust being the main culprit, but other issues as well). One power steering line is leaking, the other has been diagnosed as having not long to go also. My local indy shop told me I can drive the car without power steering if it gets bad enough so I can't add fluid fast enough to keep ahead of the leak, and I would just have to "muscle it". My concern is, if the pump goes, will this cause any other problems? Will the pulley seize or break, affecting my serpentine belt, and therefor make my car undrivable? Is it dangerous?
