I already know for a fact that I want to take it off, as I have tested all the 'sharp' turns I have to take with the engine off, and coasting so, I know I can handle it. Do any of you know a comprehensive guide on how to loop the lines and take off the p/s pump and everything that goes with it?
Under the brake booster on the firewall

There should be 2 rubber hoses that stick out of the firewall (they should lead into the power steering reservoir). This is where you loop the hoses.

However, before you close the loop, then your wheel all the way to the left and right to releases most if the ps fluid. I say "most" because you still want a little fluid for lubrication.

If you don't do this step, there is no room for the fluid to move, thus steering effort will greatly increase.

Then you can start removing the power steering pump, pulley, and reservoir (optional).
