Figured id post in.off topic just for suggestions and comments, i dont want to hear why are you or its crazy too.

But i want to remove my power steering pump and how to do it right. Has anyone done this or know how? I just dont need power steering and dont have a problem turning without it. So any input would be appreciated. Plus a nice 84kish mile ps pump and setup would be on sale here for.you guys

You would need a manual gear box. The rest is simple.

Alright thanks, have to check some parts stores for a manual gearbox, is that a tough install an removal or pretty straight forward?

Its pretty straightforward really. If you have access to an impact then you won't have much of an issue getting it removed. Personally I would check local junkyards and get your practice in by pulling a manual box from one of their trucks. A pittman arm puller would be about the only specialty tool that you need, without one of those a stock pittman arm is hell to remove.

Too bad you aren't in the Atlanta area, we could do a swap over a weekend.

Unique parts for a non PS setup:
AC compressor mount
Manual gearbox

Unique parts for a PS setup WITH AC:
AC compressor mount
PS pump mount with AC tensioner setup

Unique parts for PS setup with NO AC:
PS compressor mount

If you have AC you could either keep the PS mount in place so you could keep your AC, or find an appropriate donor setup so you could sell the whole kit.
One more thing, the pitman arm is different between gear boxes.
