Hey guys. I am trying to figure out a way to delete or bypass the Power Steering pump on my LT1. The RX7 it is going into has no power steering so its just wasted space and strain on the engine. I found this thread on another forum where they were talking about it, but the part they linked to isn't there anymore. Any suggestions on where to get a similar pulley, or alternatives?

Here is the link LT1 Guys: No more gutting the power steering pump! - Gen I & II Chevy V8 Tech Board - HybridZ

 

You can run an old school water pump and alternator on it and just run them two acc. And be cool. Lt1 is a gen 1 small block.



It would look similar to that.

 

Be sure your engine doesn't have a reverse flow water pump first

 

Hey thanks for the reply. I'll check on the water pump. After looking around online I began seeing some low mount alternator kits similar to that. I have found a few types for sale and am probably going to go that route. I am actually excited about that, it'll will clean up the engine bay a lot.
