Default power steering to nonpower steering help

Howdy,
I have a 95 integra that I would like to remove the power steering from and I do not really know how to do so. I am trying to get some folks to help me out but i need to know what parts do I need for this switch. Thanks as always.

No. That will eventually ruin the pump. You need to loop the lines together to prevent the pump from being destroyed. If it were a civic, you could swap in a manual rack, but all DC's had power steering. There are 3 lines to the pump. 2 of which you loop together to keep fluid in the p/s pump. The line to the resevoir you cap off. This way you don't ruin the pump, you don't loose hp from the belt, and its still smooth to steer with.

EDIT: Scratch that. I just read that Integra RS was manual rack.

Do it the right way and pick-up a manual rack from a DC or EG, they're the same.

I removed belt, reservoir, pump, and worked my way back, removing hoses,
to the rack. Plugged the holes at the rack, and was done. Works great. If you need help, let me know.-Bob

It will free up h/p. It's not a lot, but I'm an all motor guy. I also removed it so I can feel the road and have more responsive steering. I autocross a lot and I want to be the one driving my car - not the other way around
