Does anyone have a picture from the driver’s side (with the wheel off) of the positioning of the power steering lines going into the steering box? I forgot to take a picture when I disconnected them and want to make sure I’m reconnecting them properly and cannot find a picture anywhere on the net. Just replaced the balancer after pulling the steering rack. This is my last step and I’m hung up! Thanks

This is looking down the steering column (as if you were sitting in the driver's seat).
If you're working through the driver's side wheel well;
The power steering pump line comes in under the spool, and over top. Right to left in the picture, it sits between the spool and the frame. Install this one first. If you don't, it'll be a pain to get it in, threaded, and tight.
The cooler line comes in front to back, through a space next to the rad. The picture below should be clear enough.
Do yourself a favor before reconnecting your lines; replace the o-rings. Grease them with a little dab of a silicone based grease between your fingers, and them slip them on to the pipes. Ensure that the counter-bores on the rack (where the lines go) are nice and clean too. The grease will ensure that they slip into the counter-bore easily, without getting pinched. It's a pain in the *** to work in here, trust me, you don't want to be going back to fix a leak.
