Power steering removal???

I need help asap, please. I've ripped out the power steering and a/c, and I've plugged up the to inlets with the MT12 bolts, however I can't find the coolant line that need to be plugged! Am I missing something here? I just need to know where to plug it. thanks.

Obviously the same thing I missed, cause I have the AC and PS out of my car, and I didnt plug any coolant lines.

There is the cooling line that loops around infront of the ac core/radiator. There are two 10mm bolts holding it in there.

Man, just to update; I went through hell to remove this power steering. First off, I broke the damn bots on the pump itself, therefore i couldn't remove it from the mount! So I had to remove the a/c pump first to get at the rest of the power steering mount. This is not easy for me cause I'm not a small guy, and those damn bolts are tuck in really confined places! After I pulled the a/c pump, It was just a matter of removing the bolts of the mount, and took out the whole unit as one piece! Ahhh well it's done now, and i have to say..... I like it much better than the sloppy power steering. It's gonna take some getting use to, but all in all it's a good thing to do! for me anyways!

All you gotta do now Is bleed off as much fluid as possible and take off the former need studs off the Engine Block for a neat appearance. Fini!
