Workaround on power steering

Hello all Olblack is a 1976 F-250 .After dumping atf n hydrologic oil all over my drive for tooooo long . The pulley on the power steering pump got spun off the pump. I’ve been using it like that and prefer it now. What does it take to just get rid of the power steering out of the current oem system ? Right now the system is still sealed essentially with just the belt n pulley off. Should I try to bypass the control pump? The seal on the power assist ram has worn down the surface of the assist ram also . Not sure if trying to bypass these units and connect the hoses together.
My goal is to remove what I have to from oem PS ( ****** Of **** ) unit . And go old school. Thanks man

You will need a manual steering box, no way around it.

He already has one in the truck. The PS assist was just that, he can replace the ram with a regular link and be done.

OP already has it!

1973/77 F250 4WD High Boys have Power Assist P/S that use the manual steering gear box, because it has nothing to do with the Power Assist system.

Thanks, so I can just replace the assist ram on the axle with the non hydrologic ram. Looks like a shock absorber ?
