Yes, you can just remove it and have manal steering. You can also change over to a later model, up through mid 80's I think, power steering box. Somewhere near '80 the threads changed to metric on the gear boxes, so be sure your hoses, bolts, etc fit before tightening the threads.The later year boxes have close ratio gears. I would just get the pump with the gear box at the wrecking yard. I think you can reuse your pump, but the hoses are different. I think you need to use the steering arm from the new box, and the center link too.
