why remove the power steering it free spins like the altinator and water pump also the ac. as long as the ac is turned off the clutch on it is not ingaged so that free spins as well. removing those two is like removing the altinator and water pump and say man thats 20 pounds saved. to me it is a dumb move but if the ac stoped working as well as the power steering. you would have to put on a non-power steering rac and pinion as well. not to mentioned removing all of the wires of the ac and the tubing of it as well to try to weight manage. it is easier to get a car that did not have those two items then remove what a person paid for.

I admit sometimes it's hard to tell when some people are joking on forums. But I'm pretty sure most, if not all, the "tips" in this thread are just jokes.
