So ever since I did the swap I have done without power steering. This summer Im planning to DD the 240 more so decided I want the ps back. So the main question is, can I just get KA24DE PS lines/ reservoir and bolt it into my current setup and would it work for the rb ps pump? if not what do I need to do? is there more involved than the lines? thanks to anyone that wants to help!

that's pretty much it. you will need the rb ps pump; but the ka pump will need more work

Yes the Ka24de lines will work all you have to do is relocate the reservoir to the drivers side.

you have acouple of options as some have suggested above:

Best route, most expensive = Custom P/S braided lines with -AN fittings. To a relocated resivor

Easiest route = DOHC lines and resivor

Ghetto route, cheapest = Bend your SOHC lines over and bend the mounting brakets on the SOHC resivor to mount on the driver strut tower.

I have a 89 SOHC and I did a mix of the most expensive and the cheapest. I used my SOHC resivor and modified the mounting brakets to mount on the driver side, and I used the RBread write up on making your own p/s line from earl parts.
