I've never added fluid to a rack (3 of my own cars) after deleting the PS pump. I loop the hoses, and leave whatever fluid is in there, then forget about it. I've also removed the hoses and plugged the ports before.

Many power racks can be de-powered by elminiating the hydraulic seals in them, which cause drag.

I've never heard nor read about bearing wear due to removing the PS pump and not adding fluid until now. Do you have a source that we, as a community, can evaluate?
