P/S rack plugs? Sizes? Line Loop?

I am sure this is on here somewhere but if someone could point me in the right direction here goes.....
I need to plug the power steering line holes on my rack. How do I do this? should I make a line loop like the Gotham Racing setup for the FD? What size plugs do I use for the rack? Any info is good stuff, and I have already had one person tell me just to leave the holes open and just put a motor in it and drive the car that way. Don't really think thats the way to go... too much road grit out their.

i left the ps lines on the rack and capped those after getting excess fluid out of the rack. i found some bolts that would fit and they worked fine, but i also had alot of spare nuts, bolts, washers, and other similar stuff laying around so i was lucky. if i had to do it again i think id either stay with the ps or get a s4 manual rack if this is going to be a city driven car b/c any gains were really not noticable except not as much vibration at high rpms. but whatever you want to do, the steering does respond better and feels much more natural without the ps pump.

its really mostly an autocross/fun car. I don't care about steering effort. none of my daily drivers have powersteering either though. I like my big arms. and all my cars are junk and cost like 500 bucks average.
