You have to modify the p/s rack to work properly w/o pressure...

Some say it's awesome... some had their racks go bad weeks after doing it..

I'd check out h-t and do some research on it before you make any decision...

If you want to do it just for sh!ts and giggles then just pulling the belt is the best way...

That way you can just re-connect it... but the system DOES get jerky w/o the pump running... My pump disconnected itself at one point and the car would RANDOMLY pull to one side or the other... and was VERY hard to turn RANDOMLY... which is CERTAINLY not an increase in steering performance IMO.

Frankly I wouldn't delete p/s w/o removing the entire system and replacing the p/s rack with a non-p/s rack with decent gearing...

But again... this isn't a power mod on it's own... it needs to be part of a general trend of deleting accessories and weight in order for it to be ANY kind of performance mod... and even then it would be pointless unless you run in a class the prohibits modifiing for power in other ways...

I'd rather turbo my car or whatever and keep p/s and a/c then to pull them both NA and have less power.
