For no power steering: remove the pump in the red box in pic 2. If you keep the PS rack, you will need to do the bypass trick (search archives) -OR- Swap in a manual rack from a 96-97CX. I have done this and prefer the increased feel.

Here is the link for the PS bypass:

For no A/C, remove the compressor below the PS pump. Then remove all the A/C related hardware scattered around the engine bay.

Both components that you want to remove are on the front, driver's side of the engne. The only belt remaining now is for the alternator.

Good luck
