power steering relocation question
#3
Have you looked into just depowering the steering rack? People that loop the lines or do a full depower the FM way seem to be pretty happy with it. I do know that some of the supercharger guys have a PS bracket that does some sort of relocate. Pretty sure it's not something like replacing the A/C with PS though. That might be a BP superchager part I'm thinking of.

I had a similar question and got the, just depower it answer to.
so I depowered it and its totally fine! everything but parking lot speeds seems WAY better. its weird. I thought I would hate it but its cool. I havent really driven very much yet but I almost dont notice it with my larger 330mm steering wheel (my old one was a 300mm...)
but Im sure a qualified machine shop can fab a bracket to mount the ps where the Ac sits, the ps has the tensioner so if you mounted it as a unit you retain that... I think it could be done fairly easy really

If you were to create a bracket of some kind that allowed you to put the PS pump down where the AC compressor was, keep in mind that it will either:
a - need to move (unlike the AC compressor mount) to allow belt tensioning
or
b - you will need to use the idler pulley that gets used for AC, non PS cars, and this won't free up any space like I assume that you are trying to do.
