If you have V-Belts, why not just remove that belt, and the pump?

The other belt will still operate your Alternator and water pump.

Ahhm I see. You wanted this as a fix until you get your manual box, I thought it said you were putting one in, as they dont have lines.

I dont see why looping the lines wouldn't work, just real hard to turn...
