Power steering delete? I have no idea what you expect to do here. You cannot simply remove a PS pump and continue to use a power rack and pinion. They didn't make the car without power steering so it can't be done.

I believe you have the 2.7 L engine. If you wish to remove the power steering pump, the steering would not be easy to handle when vehicle is stationary.

Replace the idler pulley with a V-grove and a shorter belt would do.
