Default C4-LSX Power Steering Lines

I am having trouble figuring out the pressure line for my LSX conversion. There is very minimal clearance behind the pulley for the C6 power steering pump. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I used a stock C5 hose on my C5 pump to '92 stock steering rack.

I used the stock 91 line on my C5 pump. I bent it until it fit but I had the pulley off.

Did the same on the 85. Be patient and a little at a time so as not to kink.

Did you have to modify the C5 line at all?
