Ok, I've been collecting a lot of input on this subject. I see two options here:
1. Loop the lines on the rack
-downside...the fittings right under the oil pan the drivers side.

2. Loop the lines that orig went to the PS pump. The ones with the banjo bolts? right?

Block the cooling loop.

Ok, so my big question is which method, or both do I do. Anyone have pictures of the looped pump lines? I've seen the looped lines on the rack. Thanks.

 

er, i just sorta took off my P/S belt and pulled the fuse... doesnt seem to be a problem to me yet, or should it be?

 

well, umm just taking off the belt and removing the fuse wont do much considering the whole point is to reduce wieght from your car by removing the pump itself. so yeah i think your at a disadvantage there unless your popeye and have huge fore arms.

 

i would like to rip mine out and the a/c along with it to clean up the engine bay and free up some room, but not all too sure on how to do both

 

A/C = go at the lines w/ bolt cutters, and unbolt all the components.

P/S = unbolt the P/S pump from the rack, and from there.... I'm not sure

I have the 2-line type (the feed and the cooling lines are the same line) and I just capped them both off. I'll find out how that works for me... as soon as my car runs.

 

aww, come on. it weighs what, 15 pounds at the MOST? not a big deal considering. What, am i gonna kick my g/f's *** outta the car if some dick in his Probe lines up to me just to gain that .3 HP from the 104 pounds that she weighs? Or maybe, i should have a switch that will dump 2 gallons of fuel onto the road (~15 lbs.) so i can reduce all that crazy weight. IMO, for a quick job, cutting the belt is pretty easy, and the power gained by the motor outweighs the ....weight of the pump itself. Of course when i do my 20b conversion, all that stuff on the inside is going anyway. I guess i can just tell some ricer that acts like he knows all about cars that the AC and PS pumps that have no belts on them are special turbochargers, and that they give me even more power than that "Powered by Honda" in japanese sticker on his Rustang Type-R Ltd. Ed. turbo rotary (with pistons and everything!)

 

well you guys did an awsome job talking about everything but my question. Geez guys...look at the mission ahead.

 

Just to let you know, dude. The method I mentioned is the method used by Mazdaspeed7.

Plus, if it IS too hard to turn, all you have to do is loop a couple of lines.

 

the answer has arrived.

Beware of pop ups, but it is the answer, I spent about 15 bucks for the parts at home depot and it works fine.
