Power Steering Cooler
IS the power steering cooler on the SS's really necessary? How much effect does it have and is it possible to delete it without doing damage to the fluid or pump? Also if deleted, do you just loop the hose to allow a continuous flow of fluid?
Thanks

Not trying to add HP, trying to clean up the engine bay.

Get rid of that piece of ****!!!!!
Its a pain in the *** when it goes bad & leaks PS fluid into your coolant. I just had to fix mine & I deleted it. Haven't had any issues yet. Just get the upper radiator hose that is for cars not equipped with it & you'll be fine.
When I did mine we replaced the upper & lower hoses, thermostat & coolant. Then flushed the PS system. As stated above if your not running Autocross, its not needed. If it was all f-bodies would have been equiped with them, but they weren't.
