u need to remove the lines that come from the pump and reserver, and go to the steering rack.
do a search, there's lots of info, it's a pretty easy thing to do.

i did it to my daily driver, and i love it (i looped it and put a reserver on it), i hate drivin cars w/ PS now

removing the power steering, hmmm...
obviously the pump and the lines, from this point things can get sketchy.
if you just cap the line that goes in the rack it will cause the steering to have a heavier feel ie the steering effort will be more than lets say a Civic that came with out powersteering would have. Ideally you are supposed to vent the powersteering rack into a resevior so that fluid may pass in and out of the rack and not build up excess pressure (easier explained than executed) I have personally sampled both flavors and don't mind the easier of the 2 (just capping the line) at speed the higher steering effort translates into more road feel, just don't try and freaky parking lot manuevers unless you took your steriods.
