If you are running skinny's up front it is easy I daily drive with it like this. As for wider tires I could'nt tell ya.

With your car off try, have some one push the car and try to turn the wheel, as a stop and slow speeds its very difficult. Once you get moving, it gets much easier. My buddy deleted his P/S and just kept the power rack in place to be used as a manual rack. It works fine for him, but I don't think he drives it a lot.

Are you deleting AC too? Relocating the Alt?

litch2004

iTrader: (1)

Yes my a/c is already completly deleted inside and out. I just figured if I could relocate the alt to where my bypass pully is and use a turn buckle so I can remove everything else it would look a lot better and easier to work on

Yep, that's what a lot of people do.

Looks clean huh?

with skinnies it's not bad, but far from easy

with large stock style wheels it will be a major PITA

I plan to run a short belt for track use only, but otherwise I prefer power steering for a street car.

if you want to know how hard it is wen your comin down your street put it in neutral turn the car off but the battery power on and try turnin into the driveway. not that easy with stock wheels. i wouldnt DD that.

Yeah, that's a good example.

i did it once it was alot harder then i expected

iTrader: (36)

Yeah, a few times around the block and your arms will be spent. I have strong arms, but I still wouldn't DD it without skinnies.

I have the power steering deleted and the factory lines looped together. I've only driven it around the block a couple times since Im doing a bunch of work all at once to it, but the factory 245s where on the front and it was a little work, but wasnt bad, just like any other factory non power steering car.

well i decided to go a different route when i go home and decided to keep the power steering and just fab the stock AB so that the alt was on the bottom where the a/c compressor used to be at. I will have pics posted up here shortly.

the pully at the top is only ment for my purpose. I didnt have a regular one sitting around so i used my old alt pully untill i go and buy the one that will be going there.
