Power steering delete pulley
Thanks el5dart. I did find that thread earlier. There is a comment about using an idler pulley in place of the power steering pump pulley, but no details. I also read postings where people gutted or blocked the outflow of the PS pump. I'd prefer to remove the pump since I'm not planning to install a power steering box.
I was hoping for a solution similar to the AC delete bracket and pulley assembly that is commercially available. One thought I have is to buy an idler pulley the size of the existing PS pump pulley and somehow adapt the PS pump bracket to securely attach the idler pulley. Then I can stay with the standard size belt and routing.
