Default Holley mid-mount brackets without Power Steering

I am installing a new LS376 in a 1969 Camaro. Car has a manual rack. So no Power steering pump, only AC and alternator.

Would like to use the Holley mid-mount front accessory brackets but there is no option for a PS delete. I think i can make it work with a shorter belt...has anyone done this or have another option? Don't want to spend big $$$.

This is a Holley picture with a PS...I would just omit the PS pulley from this picture.

Appreciate any help.

Yes, smaller belt should work. Why not add the GM Saginaw power steering gear box from a 1993-98 Jeep Grand Cherokee? Parts are cheap in the yards these days - cost me $20 for the gearbox and they pulled it for $25. All you'd need after that is hoses & hose adapters, a power steering Pitman arm, and a rag joint similar to a Dorman 31011 part. Pretty simple and a good upgrade for your Camaro.
