Default Power steering pump delete

Will deleting the power steering pump effect the brakes in any way shape or form on a LS1 F-body.

No it won't


The pump has nothing to do with the brakes

Didnt think so. Do you leave the cooler lines attached and just block off the supply that would run from the pump?

I removed the pump, bracket and lines. I cut the lines on the rack and left about 6 inches then I looped them together with a piece of hose

You can't just run a short belt to delete the PS?
