Default Power Steering Delete

ok, got a question, how do you delete the power steering off an lt1, i know you get rid of the pump and resevoir, but what else do you have to do.

Tough when your going slow or stopped. Its cool when your cruising though . Dont you have to find a different belt? I tried but there was no way to route it since the water pump is cam driven. You need another pulley or to relocate the alternator to where the a/c was (Im assuming you have no A/C if your getting rid of the power steering).
