i have had the car over a yr now and the ac was never connected nor the powersteering the belts were both off i just did the ac delete and i was wondering what is involved in the power steering delete? and any reasons why not if i have been driving w/o it for over a year?

 

well, fill it up and hook up the belt and see.

 

no i was wondering how to get rid of the ex tra weight

 

hook the belt up.

Hook the power steering pump up.

The hose on the very top left of the engine bay. un connect it and put it in a bucket.

Run the power steering pump with the unconnected hose leading to the bucket , and flush out all the fluid (no leaking).

take off the 4 bolts and pull it out.

 

thank you

 

You will need to loop the lines to keep out contaminants.

 

I was just wondering, how much could that power steering stuff possilbly weigh, It can't be that much and if you hook it up and it works then why get rid of it. Just my $0.02.

 

The cast iron mountin bracket, for the ac and ps weighs as much as the pump. One might save 15 pounds. I'm the odd one, I added ps, but then I have rather large front tires and and don't care to do the strong arm steering when playing. I grew up with strong arm steering, I think I have earned the right to have a little convienence in my life.

I can do without the ac and stereo, but ps with 225/50/15s is more of a must have, not a luxury.

 

Yup, just remove that bitch!

 

i took your advice mazda12ags and just bought a belt for it and will now have power steering once i reconnect everything to my engine from my water pump replacing

 

I took the power steering of my '84 and I regretted it. I'm not weak in the arms but you will miss the assist. It's not worth it.
