I finally removed my A/C from this car (like every other one I've had) usin the FMS kit, but this one seems a little different.

I'm wondering if someone can take some pics of a properly routed non-A/C P/S hose setup? Currently, this seems to fit best by running the metal part of the hose over the top of the pump itself, a little off to the side. I seem to recall my others cars have run completely on the side, but I could be wrong. I tried playing with it a little and it seems to fit best this way, but they could be replacement hoses that are too long or something else as well.

Pics please?

There are two different length pressure hoses. One for AC cars and a slightly shorter one for non AC. It has a little different bend for the pump side fitting. I got a pressure hose for a non-AC car. It fits better.

I'm doing the same thing next year. I have the motor out of the car so I don't know if my hoses will work. They seem to be long enough to tie the pump up where the radiator would be so I assume they'll reach up to where the A/c used to be. I also have the FRPP kit ready.

The pressure hose for AC cars works but it's a little on the long side and it comes close to the power steering pulley. You can get a pressure hose, for non AC cars, at your local auto parts store.

I wonder why I remember them fitting better. Maybe I just need to move it around more and see -- I'd hate ot buy new hoses just for that, I'm sure i've gotten them to fit nice without that before.

Thanks for the info though, I may look into it if I'm not happy with this setup.

Have any pics of the 'correct' routing that I can look at?
