heat in the forecast

I've been hemming and hawing about removing my power steering as it shares a belt with the AC compressor. I just wasn't convinced I was going to go without it.

I know I could get a shorter belt and/or make an idler pulley, but that would require effort.

Today something snapped. I finally decided to unbelt the entirety. I drove a few blocks and I could barely notice the difference in the steering. There better be a boost on the next tank.
