Can you properly (NoD-style) loop power steering without removing the rack?

Plenty of people here say to just remove the belt and remove the power steering. Several people have looped the rack as below, with many more doing the same in other forums:

NoD explains very well that this is the best way to do it as it equalizes the pressure on both sides of the piston:
