If you're talking about leaving the A/C compressor on and by passing it, but still running power steering, that's impossible.

Yeah, You can't take off the air pump, A/C, and leave the power steering pump in the stock location.

so is there a different bracket to purchase in order to move the ps up? or does it bolt up using factory equipment?

Posted via Mobile Device you need the ford racing ac delete bracket. It's about fifty bucks. It's funny how the diagram sticker on the core support shows you can bypass the ac without moving the power steering but if you try it your belt will rub itself at the water pump.

The A/C pulley freewheels when the A/C is not engaged. It's an idler pulley and doesn't rob any HP basically. Nothing to gain by bypassing it.

If it still works, think long and hard before deleting it. I regret removing my A/C.

IMO the ONLY reason to remove smog and AC is if your putting the motor back in, it's a lot if work that will gain you 1hp at the most, ac shuts down at WOT and smog sucks 1hp at WOT, neither of which weigh very much unless you get up under the dash an remove all the accessories as well.

Posted via Mobile Device you can drop an easy fifty pounds off the nose of your car by ditching both. Maybe not a big deal to most but still notable.
