I've removed the pump and pipes does any know the size of the bolts needed to plug the rack? I've binned the originals before measuring them.

Don't plug the rack. Just leave them open.
The ram is separate to the rack, so it won't damage the rack.
I drove mine like that for about 6 years no worries.

Gonna be doing this soon myself on track car. Anyone know how much weight you ditch by removing pas? The pump looks weighty!!

There's not too much weight in it, I'd guess the pump plus the pipes to the rack is just under 5Kg 
If I get the chance, I'll weigh mine next time I'm across at my unit.

And this can just be removed without any problems? Does it have a gaiter on it? I think I saw this the other day as the gaiter was split.
Simple removal??

The bit with the gaitor on it is the rack itself
the ram is below that and it's about half the length. It should just unbolt - maybe easier said than done with the engine in place.

I'm hoping it unbolts from the left hand side, otherwise space looks very limited!
Will probably have a shot at doing it tomorrow night. Everything else in the pas removal looks pretty straight forward...

Tried and failed, just cannot get to the bolts with the engine in place. Tried turning the wheels in both directions which enabled slightly more clearance, but just not enough to get the hex bit in...
Any suggestions welcome.

Ah... will approach it differently tomorrow night then, with inlet manifold off.
Decided to do gear linkages instead for now.
