Default Disable power steering in 91 Civic Si?

My 91 Civic Si feels like it has power steering. I had an older one that didn't and it felt great. Is it possible to disable the power steering on the new one and if so, how?

You could put in a manual rack.

In level of permanence.

LEVEL ONE
1) Remove Power Steering Belt

LEVEL TWO
1) Remove Power Steering Belt
2) Remove fill bottle
3) Remove all bay lines back to hard lines at the rack
4) Loop those lines into each other

LEVEL THREE
1) Remove Power Steering Belt
2) Remove fill bottle
3) Remove all bay lines back to hard lines at the rack
4) Loop those lines into each other
5) Switch PS rack for a DX rack that did not have PS

I've still got my old Si which didn't have power steering. How hard is it to do the full swap? I guess you need a hoist pretty much?

It is not that hard to drop the rear crossmember, but it does help to do it on a lift. My friend and I dropped the crossmember on our backs on a driveway
