If I had a do-over, I might bite the bullet and use braided hoses with flare to -AN adapters.

Stainless w/-AN adaptors wouldn't fit in my case.. Not much room at the rear of the pump, the headers were in the way. The irony of the ordeal was that I didn't like the way the headers fit overall, they interfered with everything.. Several months after the power steering install, I finally removed them and refitted cast iron exhaust manifolds... I don't have any pics of the final install.
Here's a link to some illustrations of the hose I used. It crosses the frame in front of the pump, drops down and runs under the pump. Then straight up to the pump pressure fitting.
