Driving with power steering removed?

Driving with power steering removed?
Anyone have any thoughts on driving with no power steering pump installed?
the remanufactured power steering pump I installed in June is dead. Napa gave me a lifetime warranty so I've got a new one on order but it will be at least four business days.
Will it destroy my rack if I remove the pump and drive around like that? I'm assuming the fluid lubricates the rack and driving it around with no pump is a bad idea.

You have to remember that the gearing inside the steering rack was designed with the pump in mind. If the rack was properly geared for a manual setup, it wouldn't be as bad. It can work as a temporary solution, or if you're masochist.
