Yes,
I pulled the belt first. I drove for a month or two before I removed the pump and did the loopback. It got a lot harder to steer when I pulled the belt. I can not really say that it got that much easier when I did the loopback (Removing pump and resovior). However my PU truck does not have power steering and It doesn't feel any harder to steer the Protege then the PU.
