To the OP, when you disconnect your power steering, make sure to loop the hoses through a vented catch can. If you just close off the fluid loop, you'll be fighting against the pressure inside the rack and the lines. You want to keep fluid in the rack for lubrication, but you want to make sure it can freely flow from side to side (of the rack) so the steering will be much easier. Just leaving the pump plumbed in with the pulley disconnected will make things a LOT harder when you're driving.
