One more component means one more thing to break.

Why go looking for trouble?......
I took my ps totally off years ago. Made a lightweight blockoff plate to where the hoses fastened to the rack. Still use the ps rack. Small cars don't need power steering.....I can steer it with one finger..........ps fluid is not what lubes the rack anyway, so you could just plug the holes with brass screw-in plugs instead of looping lines......ps also takes some of your horsepower away when that belt is being pulled by the engine to pump fluid.-Bob
