Default De-power steering rack

Has anyone looped the lines to de- power the steering rack and remove pump? If so any pics? Car will be on skinnies so manual like steering should not be bad.

I have read quite a few threads of folks just suggesting to get a manual rack. I really do not want to modify the steering shaft as required by the manual racks. Curious if anyone has experience on looping lines specifically as it is common on fbodies and fox bodies.
