bypass power steering?
 

i have a 71 model 302, and i'm having problems with the power steering. i just want to get rid of the power steering. the fan and the water pump are ran off the power steering. i don't want to go with any electrical water pump or fan. anybody got any suggestions?

You will need a manual steering box because simply disconnecting the pump and plumbing will not make the power box act like a manual. As for the belt configuration, that should be pretty easy. Measure the correct belt size by putting a piece of twine around the pulley and go compare with other belts. One for a 65-70 w/o power steering should be pretty close it not perfect.
