The smog pump can get you in trouble at inspection time so if you remove it keep it around to reinstall during inspection time. And don't forget to plug up the diverter valves if you remove it or you'll have one hell of a leak.
As for removing the p/s....why the hell would you do that? That whole assembly might add 20lbs to the car...if that. And manual steering a car setup for power steering is not an efficient arm workout.
Whoa, hang on. I missed the power steering thing.

Don't remove that. Especially if you want to run somewhat of a decent tire up front- and this is assuming you convert to a manual box and not just a disconnected power box.

If you have never driven a manual steering car I suggest you do so before you even consider this. As for a non-powered power steering box, forget it. It will work, but poorly.
