I'm gonna be swapping my KA24DE for an SR20DET in a few days, any suggestions as to what I can do with my Super HICAS?

p.s. The rear HICAS lines are rusted through and leaking, relieving pressure in my front steering and causing my power steering pump to leak.

I thought the 300 degree kit looped the hoses at the pump and replaced the actuator with a plate so you could get rid fo the hoses? perhaps it was a different brand?
