Logically speaking, a bit of diagnostics are in order.
It is not normal for a power steering pump to load down an engine to that extent. That leads me to think that there are two possibilities. First is that the engine is losing power or just not generating enough power to support the load of the pump. Second would be that the pump is putting too much load on the engine.
First thing is to determine if the problem is the pump or the engine. Disconnecting the pump will remove any load from the pump. If the engine still gets loaded down, the problem lies elsewhere.
Some things that might be causes:
Points need adjustment if it is old enough to have points. Timing may be off causing a loss of power - like from a loose distributor clamp. Could have slipped the harmonic balancer pulley. That pulley is two pieces with rubber in between them. With old age, the outer portion can slip. If engine is timed from a slipped pulley, it will be incorrectly timed. Starving for fuel - something in the tank restricting fuel flow? Maybe a plugged filter? Check for proper fuel flow.
A bit more information would be helpful. Like what type ignition system it has, whether it has a fuel pump or is gravity feed, and anything else that may be relevant.

The first fleet arrived in 1788 and consisted mainly of convicts who were poorly equipped and new little of farming techniques. The colony remained far from self-supporting and it was not until the early 1800's that things started to improve. Free settlers started to arrive, they followed the explorers across the mountains and where land was suitable set up farms. T
