yeah, I dont see a problem with that. mine is a depowered rack but I removed the rack, removed the lines, plugged the holes, and filled it with grease. best decision I ever made.

Yeah, it'll be fine. Just remember that the steering will be very heavy with just the belt removed. Make sure you don't swing wide, on that first turn, and hit something.
