Meanwhile I have been debating for about 3 months whether to pull the AC and power steering out of the Miata. They would come out as a combo; the AC still works and I don't need it but I'm not sure I'll like the car without power steering which definitely still works. They both are on the same accessory belt and it's sort of an all or nothing thing. (Not entirely true, I could keep one or the other and just switch to a shorter belt but the simplest is to either delete both or keep them both.) I don't think the lack of power steering will be really all that noticeable at speed (definitely is at low speeds/parking) but something is nagging in the back of my mind or else I would have already done it. It would drop 30 pounds or so, which wouldn't suck, for sure.
