Finishing up a build on an 1984 Fiero with a 1990 3.1 ASC Mclaren Grand Prix engine swap. I am deleting the power steering and looking for an idler pulley. Has anyone completed something like this? or Know a pulley to use? Thanks in advance for your input.

Is it possible to get a different belt and just reroute it? Like cars with and without A/C.
Just a thought.

On other installs, I've pulled the pump apart, and taken out the vanes so it no longer produces pressure, and used the pump as the idler. The bearings are sealed, so no lube required for them.

I simply connected the pressure side to the return side on my DOHC. Works fine and Is ready to be put back into use whenever I get the power steering installed.

3.4 DOHC swap is complete and running, now just have to finish the rest of the car...
