Fitting an electric motor to power a hydraulic pump for the power steering would be fairly straightforward, but I noticed that more and more modern cars feature electric power steering (no hydraulics). The reason is with electric steering, it is easier to vary the rate of assist, and there is no hydraulic pump constantly running when it is not needed.

I contacted the seller for more info and here is the reponse I got:
"sorry we dont have install instruction on the computer for sending for each vehicle.
the install is straight forward on the land rovers,remove the stock shroud,remove the fan clutch and fan, then drop in the ffd system and wire it up,its the easiest system on the market to install.
since ffd released this system last january we have sold well over a dozen for 99-04 discovery trucks and have not had 1 complaint on fitment or cooling.
keep in mind if you never worked on your car before then this is not somthing for you to install yourself, pay a shop to handle the install and if they are honest they can have this installed in less then an hour."
Awaiting dusty's full report

You can check my thread/comments on my dual electric conversion. I can say this to other posters:
1. At speed, the fans don't even run, so there is less load on the engine/electrical system.
2. At idle, the fans do run but the alternator easily keeps up, pulls less than 10 amps
3. Truck is much quieter with the electrics.
4. No risk of exploding engine fan or stuck/slipping clutch.
5. Most modern cars are converting to electrics.
