Power Steering bypass, How to?
I have a 95 Z that is lightened and I run skinny's at the track. The PS is not needed but how do I get rid of it? Most of the time all I need is a way to run the alternator by it self. Any suggestions?

Do you have AC? Did you want to delete PS permanantly?
If so, I have a bracket that can help you out.
I have a working model of a different variation to retain power steering, I just haven't had it set up for production as of this time.

I'll order one up when I'm ready. If I did it now my wife would kill me.

BTW Steve the stock alternator is huge and weighs a friggen ton. Do you or anyone else know of a smaller/lighter unit? I don't need 140amp either since I've got no stereo, no interior lighting, etc.

lt1camaroman,
I've recieved the emails and responded promply within a few hours of each. Maybe your e-mail preferences have my address blocked...not sure. Give me a call or email me your telephone number and I can take care of you. If you need me to fax you information, I can do that also.
