Power steering pump replacement

Hey guys I've spent the past day or so researching but just want to get some last minute opinions. Mine seized and I have a remanufactured one from Autozone; just need to get it up and running. Obviously I'd like to get rid of the whining noise but that's a secondary.

I've had no luck finding 3/8 hose by the foot and don't know if I should be changing the specialty hoses as well. Also read about teflon o rings but I think thats for the specialty hoses. Either way I need to get this back up and running tomorrow which I'm sure I can do without replacing hoses. It'll probably still whine and it might still leak. I know it leaked but not sure where; I at least think it was leaking from the pump to reservoir initially and after it sat for about 3 months it started to leak really bad losing so much fluid in 2-3 days that it was basically manual steering. I'm not sure if it was the same leak that got worse or if new leaks developed.

Autozone, Oreilly's, PepBoys don't have hose by the foot and NAPA has to special order it and it's $20 for 3 feet.

Replaced the pump, car runs but no power steering. The whine is less which is nice but it's more constant that the other pump which would make noise really only when turning.

Used ATF type F. With car up I first tried lock to lock on the steering wheel about 20-30 times, barely any fluid came out of the return hose; kinda like only what was in the hose drained. I would hear a fluid squish noise at wheel lock and had small puddles under the ends of the rack like it was leaking from those rubber boots.

Since I couldn't get anything out really I decided to try it while cranking the engine. Took the distributor wire off so it wouldn't start. That got fresh fluid to come out but didn't drain the fluid fast at all like I've read and didn't use but a single quart to fill the whole thing. It was basically empty after the previous one died and leaked.

Then I put the hose back, this time with a filter with flow pointing towards the reservoir, topped off the fluid and put the distributor wire back. Started it up, rotated the wheel lock to lock keeping an eye on the fluid level. Saw some bubbles, topped it off then did it for another couple minutes after the last bubbles and let it run for about 10 minutes. The pump didn't whine at all unless I turned the wheel and there was about a 2-3 second delay for the noise.

Go to drive it today and feels like no power steering. Fluid level looks fine, checked for leak puddles on the ground after I got to my destination and let it sit and checked the fluid level again; all still good.

From what I've read it could be the pump, it could be a line blockage somewhere or I managed to not do a good job flushing/bleeding. Any advice would be appreciated before I start throwing time and money at it. I did read someone having similar issues and they put the car back up on stands to do the air bleeding again but this time revved the engine to 3k while turning the wheel which worked for them.

To add, at idle and not moving the pump whines for 6-10 seconds then off for 4. Counted and the off time is consistent, whine time is variable.

When I was bleeding it the whine decreased in duration and loudness as I went through the procedure but eventually stopped improving.

Ok so magically it started working after about 60 miles of driving. Pump is much louder as well.
