Default 1LE power steering delete?

I already don't have AC since its a 1LE,
How do I delete power steering and get rid of as many pulleys as possible?

Thank you

Get the alt only bracket and a belt. Replace your bracket with the new one. Just make sure to loop the hoses at the rack. Nice and easy.

Thank you!
I searched for how to loop the hoses and didn't see anything, how are they supposed to be done?

Just take a rubber hose from one line on the rack to the other. It's about as simple as can be.

Unless this is a drag only car you might want to keep PS. I was young once and I can tell you with my 00 TA it was a pain in the *** to turn a set of 275DRs on dry pavement.

Yeah drag only with skinnies. How is it for recovering from a slide ie: counter steering out of the water box etc ... does it become dangerous with PS delete?
