Nah, the first car just has PS. No A/C.

A lot of people who are going for all out performance remove the PS and A/C for engine-bay simplicity and weight-saving.

Uhh... (lol)

It's not too easy to drive, takes a little muscle. You'll be able to feel the road better... Drifting sucks without power-steering IMO.

I prefer P/S, some don't...

On the last pic it looks like they went with the system the FD has(serpentine??).
One big belt instead of the two small ones the FC has. Although I think it's a custom setup or some odd company makes it since I've heard you need to use a FD waterpump if you do the swap.

the only time it takes muscle, is when you are turning from a dead stop.

if you are actually rolling the car is really touchy and you can make pretty sharp turns with ease.

i have a base n/a and it had no ps.

but yeah i don't prefer it. haha

Are you talking about the waterpump pully? That's for if you remove the airpump. (Which is removed in all three pictures)
