Removing PS

Its time to dump my power steering, however Im confused.

On my old SE, I just pulled the pump when I pulled the AC and such. Had no issues. Drove with it like that for years, and its still being driven that way with the current owner.

Im sure its as easy to remove the pump, but will having a power steering rack, minus fluid,pump,etc hurt anything on a FC? I have read yes and I have read no.
I know it would be sensible to track down a manual rack, but for now, I cant drive with the PS. Its sloppy and doesnt feel comfortable at all. Its great for moving around a parking lot of whatever, but thats about it. I dont feel safe with it.
