you cant get a belt to fit around the water pump pulley because: 1 - it will be too small and put too much pressure on the water pump bearings until they fail, 2 - it will be large and will continually jump off the pulley under load.
the only way to elimate the power steering is to remove the pump, lines, and all and vent the rack. however, in doing this, you will destroy the rack and it will never work right again. you will have to find the stock KA-E power steering idler pulley and use it to bypass the DOHC KA pump.
wow. thats a little jumbled. im tired and its late. if its hard to understand, ill try retyping tomorrow.
