My power steering removal pics
So no one ever had pics of this...so this is what I did:
first I cut these lines:
then I simply looped the two together and then plugged the other holes (there were 5 of them):
Thats it...anyone know if this is gonna work? I dont see why it shouldn't...but this is my first time doing this. any feedback?

not that i am a pro and i am not but here is my take on this i have not done any of this but if i was going to do what you did i would go buy some sort of fitting so that you can bleed it every now and then kind of like the ones for bleeding the brake system
what does everyone think of my idea??

Cool pics, but isn't that more of a modify your PS to Manual instead of the full swap. I did the full swap in January, now that is a total bitch to do especially if the engine is still in.

I had some bolts lieing around and I used some rather large washers with gaskets, it's working so far but, then again I haven't had the car on the road to give it a real test. I'll let you know whenever my car gets running!

I dont know how the steering react with the lines plug in like that vs taking out the steering belt. But in my opinion, when I drove around without the power steering wheel. It had to be the worst feeling, the steering is slow and heavy, cant turn for crap

Now, sure, it's a little tricky to parallel park, but you just gotta work those muscles.. Above ~2 or 3 mph, it's no problem at all to turn. On 225 tires, even..
I'd never go back.

If you do that, you should completely drain all the fluid out of the rack. If you do not, then every time you turn, you must move all that fluid around and overcome friction witht the road. Needless to say, it would be much easier without the fluid. Note: There is no reason to still have the fluid in there.
