I never really noticed that it was any harder to turn the wheel after the removal than it was while sitting w/ the engine off before removing the pump.

I also never crossed the PS lines, I just drained the fluid from the rack and put caps on the nipples that the lines attach to on the rack. PS racks aren't lubricated by PS fluid, they're driven by it.
Any adverse effects on either vehicle with the removal of the pump? Accelerated wear?
