are the power steering lines different between the single cam and dual cam?
if so, are the lines interchangeable? as in, would i be able to just remove the lines off of my car and put lines on from a DOHC?

I'm swapping in an rb25 into my '90 coupe and have been looking through build threads as sources,
and CA18Magic's thread has a picture showing a different configuration with the lines.
My power steering lines are in the way of my mounting kit.
I can unbolt the bracket holding them in place and push them behind the brackets,
but I would rather just have things in place how they're supposed to be,
which assuming the SOHC and DOHC lines are different, the DOHC lines are not in the way. (using same kit as CA18Magic)

i have searched here and google and haven't really had any luck,
unless i missed it.

thanks for any help guys.

I could be wrong but isn't the PS on the opposite side of the motor from the Single? pretty sure PS steering and AC lines are differently shaped.

I'm not really sure lol
all i know is that the lines are bent differently.
you might be right though because the lines from the pic turn back towards the driverside but mine bend towards the windshield and rad support.

I just want to know if I'd be able to just swap the lines over.
