Also, if you use manual brakes, youl want to disable the pump as it will have no further use other than driving the oil pump. Disabling it will not affect fuel economy by any measurable amount, but it will keep your engine from shooting oil all over the place when the hose connection starts leaking and the pump draws as much air as it can possibly draw and deposits it directly into the engine case.
