Default hydra boost brake upgrade

I am upgrading my brake system by replacing the vacuum booster with a hydratech hydraulic booster. If anyone has done this, I would like to know where did you pass the braided lines. I do not like my first pass routing. Thanks,

Does anyone have a recommendation for the routing of the braided hoses running from the hydratech booster to the power steering pump and the power steering valve?

Remember that you do not need to use the given lines as is.
I routed them the way I liked (sorry no close up pic's) marked them, then had the local hydraulic fitting store cut and reattach the hose ends.
Just a suggestion
