Default Power steering plumbing help needed

I need to finish plumbing the power steering on my 1970 SRIII project but need help with getting the correct fittings to hook it up. I am running 1993 vette rack, Astro van hydro boost and gen 1 style power steering pump. I know where the lines run but need to know what type and size fittings I need to get to match the connections. If some one has a list or knows what fittings are required, I would certainly appreciate the input.Thanks,
Rob

I am trying to wrap my mind around this steering configuration. If you post some pics of the hose ends and the component ends you may get more answers.

picture = 1k+ words in this case

I have no experience with rack and pinion but I have worked with late model pumps.

Contact detroitspeed they have all kinds of fittings and do this type of thing. If for nothing else they could tell you what fittings you have on each part so you can make up your own lines.
