well i "test disabled" my Powersteering and A/C tonight. I really like the way the car feels with the P/S off. It does not have that jittery feeling anymore. The car feels rock solid. My ac never worked after the PFC swap so that doesent matter to me anyways.



I know that when i get to taking the pump off i will have to put in the "loop" that loops the P/S pump feed and return lines. Does anybody have the partsnumbers for these parts that has done the swap? Also does it matter if that loop is filled with air when I install it?



My last question is this; I have heard that using a power rack as a manual isnt the brightest idea. Have you guys that have been running no P/S had any problems? I dont want to be driving along and have total steering loss...



Any input is appriciated. I really liked the way the car felt without the P/S and A/C loop. It did feel quicker but that may have been my imagination.



thanks guys!

I just put 2 blots in the in and out of the steering rack, I don't know if that good. But it seems to be working fine for me so far.
