power steering delete on a B15 sentra - difficulty: shares belt with water pump

I'd really like to do a power steering delete on my car, but the belt that the power steering pump is on is shared by the water pump. I considered replacing my water pump with an electric water pump, but that presents some potential problems - excessive water pressure could cause problems and insufficient water flow could result in hot spots. Although I have an idea on how I could use a PWM controller to reduce the water flow to an acceptable level, but I'm not sure I want to dive into a project like that just yet.

Is there any way I could disable my power steering without removing the belt? would it do any good to loop the pump the same way you would loop the rack?
