ive been questioning doing this myself. my power steering lines are leaking all over and i will have skinnys on the front so ive thought about ditching the PS setup. but you dont want to cap the rack off, you want to get a piece of hose to loop it so it still circulates

Loop the power steering lines coming off the rack that go to the power steering pump with hose.

yes when you remove the power steering lines going from the pump to the rack, you just take a piece of hose long enough to connect the two outlets on the rack so the fluid can still circulate.

When u use this rack with out the pump it kills the internals in the rack, a rack set up for power turned in. To a manual is to hard to turn. I mean ur arm will want to fall off.

Ight to the kid in the t/a nice ******* car. My last z28 was red. Love red. Ay my ss Camaro now, right is leaking power steering fluid on the passenger side, I can't see where it's coming from, leaking every where on the ac compresser anying as ****. U think the the lines shot ? What do u think thanks
