We always take it off on the dyno and track. we have dynoed anywhere between 1-5whp from taking the belt off.

I took my power steering off, but routed it back in. Like this:

I like to run it actually, it is PIA to run a power steering car without the belt on, but the last time I had my car up I didnt run it all for a month. Biceps get big!

if you're not running it with a belt, it will be harder. If you run it like the thread linked by Art, you'll run the PS fluid in a closed loop, a littl easier than having to pump fluid to the reservoir using the old conventional method.

Or get an ITR rack, smaller gear, easier to turn.
