Power Steering

I was wondering if its possible to adjust the power steering in my 2000 Si. I would really like to reduce the amount of assist which it provides so that the steering would feel more firm. Is there a seperate pulley for the power steering which i could swap with an underdrive or does it run off the alternator pulley? Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

OK so there is a seperate pulley for power steering.. cool. No I don't want to pull it entirely because I spend too much time in the city and my arms are big enough. Will an underdrive pulley require the belt to be tightened and is that an easy task if you have to do it?

probably just a different belt that will come with the kit...

honestly city driving a non power steering car doesn't give yoiu bigger arms... my arms haven't changed size and I've been muscling my car around for 3 years now....

I've driven my friends hatch without p/s and its not something i want to be without. Plus his car and I'm sure yours are lighter than mine. I just want a little bit more resistance.
