Default Engine Accessory Drive Question

OK, I have the basic engine figured out. I'll be using a 94 302 block bored 20 over (powder coated ford blue), tfs heads and cam, and some other good stuff.
My questions is this: I am installing AC but have no power steering in the car (1966 Coupe). I have the brackets and accessories from the 94 but am not sure what do about bypassing the power steering pump. So, does anyone know or have this type of accessory drive info? I checked the faq section but couldn't find anything.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

My coupe was set up with power steering originaly, before I put in my 94 302. I just ripped out the P/S pump and didn't worry about it. Just be aware that turning the wheels will be ungodly hard, more so than if it didn't have P/S in the first place because you steering linkage is still set up for it. You can change it to a non-P/S steering for relatively cheap, I just never did myself. Keep in mind, your tranny probbly won't fit all that well(at least mine didn't) so it leaks a little(by a little I mean a lot). If I think of anything else you need to keep an eye out for I'll get back to you.

Keep the PS pump to run a Hydraboost, have brake boost no how big your cam is, loose the vac booster and clean up your engine compartment a whole bunch... search for hydraboost to get the details.......
