Wouldn't be more reasonable to delete the pump and get some manual steering setup for weight savings?

Oh yeah, but it would also cost a bit.

Indeed.

Anyway, I see you also did an A/C bypass. What exactly is that? Did you retain the A/C hardware and just disabled it? You might know an A/C usually increases the weight of a vehicle from 60 to 120 pounds.

I bought a bypass bracket with a pulley on it and removed the A/C equipment. I will do the same on the buick unless I can reroute the belt.
