Steering pump delete

[lito]

Stupid question but search of common words sometime is not easy.

When you guys delete the steering pump, what you do, belt re-routing? I could not find a delete kit as with the A/C.

That's what I did. I bought a new shorter belt and re-routed it. I can't remember the belt part number. I'll try and get it for you. Goodyear 4060882

Are you going to put a manual steering rack in the car?

Don't know if this will help in your application. I deleted AC and moved the PS pump to the AC location to help keep belt length short. I also use an electric water pump with no idler.

If your keeping AC or have the AC delete idler and the standard electric water pump you can probably just go around the water pump pulley and up to the alternator if this is an NA car and skip the idlers on the drivers side.

Just wondering if the hole spacing is different or not for the power steering pump vs the a/c bolts? On the a/c delete I believe it is one bolt up top and two on the bottom, but on the power steering it is two bolts up top and one on the bottom so maybe the a/c delete pulley could be used also to delete the power steering pump???

Here is another picture when i was mocking it up and figuring belt length.

It's different. I had to machine an adapter plate to put the PS pump on the passenger side.

Thank you all for the responses, I knew the thing was a search away but never found the right words to do it, hope stkjock does not see it. Lol.

No manual, possibly testing weird stuff, as always.

I see it.... LOL

You're forgiven.

How thick is that plate?

How thick is that plate?

And do you have the CAD file for it by chance?

How often does that happen?

just to throw this out there, you can also move the power steering from the top driver side to the bottom driver side where the F-150 have it, the bolt holes are all there and line up with no issues.
