Default Deleted Power Steering, how do i run the belts?

I have deleted the power steering with a BMR manual rack. but I still have the A/C. But I am wondering how i should run the belts. is there a kit i can buy. I also have a alternator relocation kit already on the car. I'm not sure what kind or brand, i put it on like 4 years ago, But the kit kept the power steering and a/c, just moved the alternator to the lower driver side area.

if you want to get rid of the AC you can get the PCM4less kit that relocates it to the bottom passenger side. i got the SJM kit but i wish that i went for the PCM4less kit

I've been curious about deleting P/S and keeping the A/C as well. How does it turn with the manual rack? How much weight savings?

Well i contacted ls1 speed and they didn't have any solutions. I am hoping to finish putting the k-member in tomorrow. Then I have to Figure out the AC situation.

As for weight and how hard it is to turn. I am not sure yet because the car is still apart.

But I will keep everybody updated on what happens.

alright guys I got it done. it wasn't that hard. I am still using the alternator relocation kit too. I just had to find a different way to run the belt and get a different size belt. that was all.
