People keep telling me to fuck powersteering off but im still determined to keep it.
Been told now i need to cut a piece out of my driver side tie bar because the powersteering pump hits it??
Truthness on above statement?
Also will i need tie bar lowering blocks ?

No you don't.
You need the V type pump, alternator and bottom pulley thingy. Then it's thin enough to clear it.
The multirib thingy is fat as opposed ot the thinner V belt.

Thanks lads! I have got the V belt altenator, bottom pulley and powersteering pump.
And im not going to use the anti roll bar, do i still need to lower the tie bars?
Just looked on chris astleys, £42.50 for the tie bars! Bit expensive, but i will get them if i really need them.

Cheers for the quick reply!
My corsa was a 1.6 aircon model, what are the chances of the rad and fan still fitting?

Ok mate, well ill let you know how i get on with it and if it fits. 
The car has had aircon removed so it should fit easily, just wasn't sure if the rads are of a different size, may look into getting a new one that will suit it better. Will soon find out!
