Default No power steering + electric waterpump questions

Hey my SS hasnt had power steering for a while. So i have gotten used to it and dont really mind it because i do mostly freeway driving, and it looks like i am going to be getting a meziere ewp. that means i will have two pulleys that wont be running. also, does anyone have any advice for deleting power steering and the pulley belts that i will need? thanks!

I have one small 4 rib belt going from my crank pulley to the alternator pulley. No power steering and I have the Meziere drag pump. I run a 32" belt.

If you do a search in the Drag Racing Tech section, you will see threads about how to ditch the power steering. All you have to do is remove the parts and loop the stock lines with a barbed hose and clamp it off. Then get the alternator bracket from BMR (roughly $130 or so) and you will be good to go.

Yep, that's it. I'm lazy and not on BMR's payroll.
