Power Steering Pump Removal
I'd like to take the power steering pump off my car for the weekend and go racing. Its straight line 1/4 mile and the pump has been giving my trouble. I'm short on time and wondered if I could remove it and just plug the lines and go racing. i have all winter to fix it up or change to standard steering but need a fast fix for this weekend!
Please the more info I get the better!

You would probably be better off not plugging it but draining the system.The cylinder is going to make it tough to steer if it is full of fluid and plugged.
EDIT-If you dont want to remove the pump- just remove the belt and drain it.
