Here's the problem...



Take those out and no belt will work. No belt, plus no water pump.

You'd probably be best to leave the AC one on as it doesn't add a lot of resistance when off. As somebody who has taken out AC of a car... if it works, keep it. Unless you are in a constantly cold climate, that is.

Even if you just removed the PS pump...



Looks like you still won't be hitting that water pump. So to do it, you'd have to either get a pulley to replace the pump, or relocate the water pump (likely go electric... which isn't cheap).

I'd say you might be best, in this car, to leave the power steering in place.
