best/cheapest way to delete power steering pump from 89 firebird 305 motor
 
I have a 305 out of an 89 firebird that i put into my 82 s10 that has a manual steering box in the truck already i was wanting to stay with the manual steering and just delete the pump from the motor what would be the easiest way to get it out of the way and do away with it. Would be pay to just snag a power box and 2 lines pretty much looking for the cheapest quickest way out as the trucks almost done and this is going to hold me up. its the factory serp setup currently

I don't remember how the factory setup is laid out on the later cars, but could you just remove it and buy a shorter belt? Or does the routing depend on the PS pump to keep the belt away from something?

I had a manual S-10 box on my '87 Camaro, but that has a serp / v belt setup. I had only a small serp belt on the crank pulley, water pump, and alternator. Everything else was deleted:
