Power steering lines

Has anybody modified their power steering lines???
I have the rotary extreme v mount IC kit and I kept my power steering. When installing the kit, the power steering lines are pushed down a lot. Now since I put lowering springs on my car, the power steering lines are super close to the ground. I'm wanting to relocate the lines from below the radiator to just behind it. (right under the black cross member)
Any tips or need to knows before I start???

I don't think I did. I was able to use the bracket he provided for the power steering lines. The bracket pushed them down and now with or without that bracket, the lines are the lowest thing.
Everything was fine until I installed the H&R lowering springs. Now I'm afraid I'm going to scrub them on everything!

I'll post pics tomorrow, but my rad is out of the car right now. I forgot to tell him I didn't have an AST anymore so I finally got around to having that nipple welded over.

I removed the entire large piece that runs around to the radiator and used the gotham racing replacement

The stock hardline that winds across the radiator mouth is meant to function as a fluid cooler. There's absolutely nothing wrong with removing it entirely and instead plumbing a small tube and fin cooler in and placing it somewhere convenient.

That's good news! Thanks!!!
Here are the pics anyway... See what I mean by low! I'm backed up on a hill so usually I have maybe another inch of clearance.

OK so after doing some searching for a cooler, I found this:
http://www.secureperformanceorder.co...ProductID=1738

I also looked more closely at my lines and this cooler will work out perfectly. I'll just mount it along that black cross member in the picture and it will get cooled from the air passing across the radiator.

Thanks for the help!
