I have a 97 Mazda Protoge with 1.5L. I did the belt thing first to try see how the steering was before removing the pump and connecting the rack input to the output.
I measured the PS at 19 lbs and A/C at a total of 45 lbs with everyting removed. My other two vehicles don't have PS so I'm use to using two hands to turn the wheel to park.
With the A/C and P/S off I also removed the outer pully on the crankshaft. So in rotating mass I figured I got rid of 6lbs.
I also got the little cigarette lighter heater/defroster/fan for the winter. It gives me a little patch of clear windshield while I creep out of the neighborhood.
Good Luck and welcome
