Short answer is no.
Long answer is yes if you let it run out of water and ruin the engine causing it to not work to turn the Power Steering pump!
If you are having an issue with hard steering check the belt adjustment to power steering pump to see if it is loose and check the power steering pump oil reservoir for proper oil level.
These are common things that need to be checked on a regular basis anyway.

If your 85 LeSabre is really hard to steer what should you do to fix it?
It depends on how you define hard to steer. If you mean it requires excessive effort, I would look for a seized, broken or otherwise malfunctioning power steering pump. In the 85, it is just underneath the alternator. If by hard to steer you mean hard to keep control, you almost definitely have a suspension problem. Either way, unless you know exactly what you are doing, a professional should do these kinds of repairs
