I've ridden that road many times on my motorcycle and EVERY trip we find someone with a big coach chugging, smoking, going up the hill at a whopping 20 MPH with a mile of cars and semi's behind them.
Gong north to south is better as most of the time you are on the mountain side and your wife is not in cardiac arrest and yelling at you to the top of her lungs. A lot of northbound campers are over the center line as they are scared to death of the no-guard rail side of the road.
Can it be done? Sure but you won't be comfortable.
Respectfully, I have to disagree... YOU may not be comfortable, but everyone is different. We do this part of the 550 in our DP & toad all the time, both directions. At 25 MPH, it's a very relaxing drive, and one of my very favorites.
