hey i'm having trouble with the powersteering... i have one metal hose that goes on to the pump and theres another mount there for another metal hose but i don't have that other metal hose.... i looked at a car from the junkyard and that other hose goes to another pump or something thats on passenger side and it has hoses on it going to the hicas.

and just run w/out PS? You could just disconnect the line you do have and just run the pump/pulley for the belt.
