when removing PS

hey i want the clean engine bay so i figured since im in the middle of my t2 swap (no engine in the car) there is no better time to take out the A/C and power steering so i took out the A/C but then looked at the PS rack and see the line that goes into the rack so when i take that line out do i just put a bolt in to keep it sealed? or is there more to it then that?

please let me know asap and please no flaming. thanks -mike

damn, i used to have a like that showed what to do exactly if you want the ps gearbox still but i dont know. imo though, you should just find a manual steering gearbox and swap it out. ive heard its pretty easy.

Ideally you should get the manual rack, but my buddy simply crimped the lines coming from the rack and it worked, kinda ghetto but it worked.

i was thinking of the same thing. my orig. ps was leaking so my steering was already hard (been like that since i bought it so got used to it). i swapped in another one one of my bud said was working while i was completing my rebuild. it's still leaking so im thinking of swapping in a manual rack. are the manual racks for the FC the same for all models (5 spd and automatics)? if its the case then i have access to a manual rack from an automatic. what's all that i would need. i will do more searching ofcourse.
