As I am at work, I just skimmed this, but I have converted mine to AN braided line. Make sure you use the high pressure teflon braided line. It's usually specifically marked as PS line. The power steering pump on an LS1 produces approximately 1400 at the lock but it's working pressure is far lower (but still exceeding safe limits for standard braided line). The high pressure port on the LS1 pump is an M16 x 1.5 o-ring design and I used a -6 AN. The adapter you need on the rack is an M18 x 1.5 o-ring. Make sure you use the high pressure rated steel fittings (also usually marked for use with the teflon hose or specifically for power steering systems). I found that using two 90* hose ends worked perfectly for my routing but your results may vary. I did not install a PS cooler though as my camaro already has one from the factory. I also did not re-plumb the return lines because I didn't have a need for it and I also was too lazy to figure out a good solution for attaching the return line to the reservoir. Any more questions feel free to PM, email, or AIM me!
