Powersteering pump questions This may sound a bit confusing. I want to remove the power steering rack and go to a manual rack. The tricky part is that I want to keep the power steering pump on the front of the engine. Looks and orginality. Is there a way to cap or close off the pressure line, and also the return line? IS that possible? The engine bay will look stock but under neath the car will be a manual rack.
i think it would be possible, but why? having a manual rack isn't really something worth hiding IMO. and you'd still be keeping the weight of the pump and the drag of the belt turning it.
P/S pulley options look here:

looks like to me you can have them make one for you or do the short belt
good luck

Thanks for the link I was looking for something like that.
Some people run them on the street and some run them on the track. It is a pain to turn the wheels sitting still, but then again why would you do that in the first place. I am going to a manual rack cause I am tried of fooling with my powersteering rack whining, leaking, squealing, tried of pump leaking, line dry rotting, and so on and so forth. To me that would solve a lot of childish games for me. BMR sponsor or one that carries BMR stuff has them for a real good price.
Well, unless yo have "skinnies" upfront, manual steering on a DD can become a pain in the ***. Especialy if you do alot of in town drving, parallel parking, etc... I mean, it all depends on what you can put up with.
