But if I remember (been a couple of weeks since I looked under the hood)... the alternator and PS are on the same belt... so don't pull the belt off, the car won't run.

no thier not .. believe me .. ive worked on my engine alot lately... the powersteering is on its own belt... the a/c and the alternator are on the same.. i guess thats what u meant... but yea u can disconnect it...and as far as fluid... drain it first...

Rep Power: 0 i got 450 miles on it in the last like 4 -5 days... car LOVES it... im hitting track at lower boost, like 6psi for now.. not ready for teh alcy injection stuff just yet... im being cautious.,... but man. car just LOVES boost... LOVES it.... its eating it up... im at like 5psi right now.. turning it up to 6psi today (we have 93 octance here).... so that should be cool..i KNOW im gonna get some power from pulling just the belt, and if it all works out and car isnt all that hard to drive (5hgen was ok w/o it, but i daily drive 19s now, so hmmm...)... then i will remove whole system...

Rep Power: 323 IMO the gains from removing the pump and lines for ballast wieght will not equal the time and effort spent on taking that stuff out. Just pull the belt and leave it in there. the pump only wieghs like 10-15 pounds max. and then fluid maybe another pound. Just pull out the pass seat and rear seat spare ect. and go for it.
Good luck at the track

Rep Power: 0 if i pull out the pump and just block off the hoses im all good, right? or should i drain them.. and if i should, can i just let teh hoses run dry... or is there any special way.. i sound like a DUMBASS right now.. just VERY safe when i do stuff to this car.. not like my other ones where i didnt care as much!
