would it be fine just taking out the pump? how do you loop the lines or whatever? will it be easy to put the pump back on? im not worried about drive-ability at all i just want to put it back together right if i can.
Sure you can just take the pump off and loop the lines, but its very hard to steer unless you swap to a real manual rack. I just leave the PS on mine, with a procharger you cant do the short belt and from what I read it only takes a couple HP to drive the pump..
ok cool, thanks. did they ever make an f-body with a manual rack? i was thinking i could pic one up from a junk yard or something. i hear the madman rack doesnt work for bigger rims/tires. i want to do 17's with 275's up front.

wrong...
... i have no power steering and a procharger.... i took an extra idler pulley i had and machined the stand off hex to accept it... now i have an extra pulley to keep it from rubbing... but it works

ty-ty, I'm not wrong, I just meant the short belt alone wont work. I made an idler pulley off the hex on the lower standoff with a P1SC setup three years ago. I would do it on this car but I cant justify 600.00 for 8lbs and lighter then stock steering components on a 3400lb front heavy car..
