Unknown as far as I know. It is not specifically mentioned in the rules (that I could find) and thus, would seem to be technically illegal. However, there are a lot of things not in the rules that are in a lot of SPB cars.
If I were to seriously contemplate this mod, I'd request a ruling from the scruts to be sure that it would be allowed when I showed up to the track. However, I have seen so much cheating in SPB that I wouldn't be surprised at all if some cars already had this mod regardless of what the rules might say/imply or what the scruts might think or how they might rule on it.

Yes, by eliminating the power loss from the power steering pump the car should see an increase power to the rear wheels (by a small amount). Similar in function to removing A/C and/or installing an under drive pulley at the crank.
