i've been trying to get the ps and a/c lines out of my parts car for the past few hours and can't seem to get them off. i've just downloaded the service manual. is there any trick to getting them out or something things are common that i should know?

what is so hard about it? Disconnect the AC lines from the compressor and condenser and unbolt them clips that hold them to the body of the car. For powersteering lines you can take them off the bottle and power steering pump and detach them from the base of the steering Rack. One should be rubber and you can remove the rubber hose from the metal pipe somewhere along it. Just remove all bolts and unscrew all fittings and rip it out.

i got them out pretty easily actually, it was just finding the damn bolt that holds the lines together against the frame, once i got that off, it was cake.
