You can reverse the belt tensioner, run exactly the right sized belt, run a standard rotation water pump and reroute the belt -- lots of options here.

March sells a a/c delete kit that would reverse the tension pully and place it where the a/c used to be. This kit should help you with you ps pump removal too.

If your using a flaming river manual steering rack n pinion. Then why do you need to replace the pump. Just take the pump off the car and the bracket also. Saves about 30lbs.

Here I did the kit this year, I got some pics too.
