so i destroyed the power steering pump pulley getting it off and i was wonder since the part is obsilete can i use a flex hose for the lower hose, get a shorter belt and just not use power steering?
 
I am pretty certain that the only way you can do away with the power steering pump is to switch to a manual rack and pinion. I don't know if these are even available for the bird. I just know one of my Mustangs from years ago didn't have a PS pump and no one had switched to a manual rack and it was a BEAR to drive even with skinnies on it.
 
get another

plenty of people strip old crapped out sc's and im sure they will have pumps,pulleys, and both of them together for reasonable prices, I got one from the big e for like 40 bucks shipped
