are there any auxilery drive belts available for removing the PAS?.. were there any 1.8 20v engine without power steering fitted as standard?.

Like above said no and no. I guess something could be custom made to work but would prob cost you a bit. What issues you having?

no issues, just looking for more road feedback and less draw from the crank pulley.. i know its probably minimal but its the way i want to go, i remember reading a thread somewhere but was a long time a go, im sure it stemmed from a thread regarding using the R32 hub and wishbones.. not that i want to use them, just take the power steering off is good enough at the moment.

You would have to change to a non power steering rack which I have never seen before on golf mk4/A3 models.

i wonder if any of the previous 8v aux belts form models like mk3 or mk2 would fit the bill perhaps if moving the alternator to same position if possible. i heard that if you cap off the unions ( or recirculate)? on a pas rack then it would become a non pas rack but sometimes the ratio`s can be different between pas and non pas racks on certain models (not mk4 as there seems all mk4`s have pas)?

Running a pas rack without the pump will be bonkers heavy plus it will die really quickly
