It's reversible, just put some stock springs back in. When I was designing coal-mining equipment, it was standard proceedure (ie, in the catalog) to change springs or drill out an orifice to change the characteristics of spool valves.

I've peeked at my p/s pump before, but was unsure if I could rebelt the engine to delete it. Last week, when I was removing my a/c and installing the new belt, I gave it a thorough inspection. I determined I will be able to eliminate the p/s pump and still use the belt tensioner . I'll be doing that soon. If I like it, I'll loop the hoses and toss the pump.

There is no manual rack available for the Cavalier. But the guys in the race forums delete the pump all the time.
