Power Steering to Non-power steering

Ok, the search feature is disable and I really need a quick answer.

Due to a fmic kit I got and the time I have is limited, I need the car to be working by friday morning.

Due to the fitment of the kit I had to remove the power steering pump temporaly till I find a way to make the a pipe fit or get a manual rack.

The question is, what do I do with the left over hose. I did try to drain from the return the oil by turning the wheel left to right, but should I plug it now? How about the two other hoses that are meant for pressure?

Any insight will be helpful since I can't have the hoses leaking at the track.

take all of the hoses off, leaving just enough to join togther the two hoses coming out of the rack. put atf in the hoses, it'll act as lube; you're just joining the hoses together to equalize rack pressure.

EDIT: TYPE F atf
