I've bypassed the steering pump on my 2001 and can tell you that it won't turn
worth a damn. I think that 2001 is the first year for the rack and pinion, but
I'm not sure. The rack is nearly impossible to turn without the pump running,
FYI. I doubt that the parasitic loss of a freewheeling AC pulley is worth
swapping my belts, but I had thought about it.

Subject: DML: 4.7l short belt?
Has anyone come up with a belt for the 4.7 to bypass the A/C compressor and
possibly the power steering pump? Just looking for near free hp.
