Default Power Steering Hose Routing

I converted to a Borgeson gear last year but had a March Serpentine System at the time. Scrapped it cause it squealed like crazy. Im trying to route the power steering hoses around the factory power steering brackets. The March system had a stationary bracket and this wasn't an issue. The hoses dont route well at all now. They are either in the way of the bracket and adjusting stud on the pump or too close to the headers. What has everyone who did the conversion done and any pics would be awesome! Im thinking of having new lines made and routing backwards under the motor and to the pump. While we're at it what did you do with the alternator brackets if you ran headers?

Mine comes up towards the fender and under the edge of fender and back down to the steering gear. Mine is a big block so their was no other alternative.

I think your brackets aren't as bad as the SB. I had a 396 in a Chevelle and the brackets were a lot different. This one sucks
