Default No ps, will this cause harm to the ps rack?

I was having a discussion with my father the other day. He is extremely knowledgable on the subject of cars. He told me that if I continue to drive my car without the ps belt on that it will eventually cause the rack to fail and result in no steering. Has anyone ever had this problem? I don't need to ruin my ps rack, but I also love driving without power steering and don't want to put the belt back on.

no, as long as the rack is looped..ie...no ps fluids.
all the Pump does is help move the fluids so less effor when turning the wheel.

i took my ps pump/belt etc..out for 2 1/2 yrs already and no problem.
i looped the outgoing/ingoing from the steering rack.

Do you guys think this kit is worth it. If I only take the belt off for drag strip events ?
