Default Mustang LSX Swap Power Brakes and Steering Question

I'm finally about to start an LSX swap into my 1998 V6 mustang, and I realized that I will need additional components to keep my power steering and power brakes. Can somebody help explain to me how I can keep these two features?
Thanks!

I found that Borgesons has a power-steering kits for 95-97s which could work: http://www.borgeson.com/xcart/catalo...-p-1-c-85.html

you will need to connect the vacum to the brake booster (comes from top back of engine) and then connect the high pressure side to the high pressure side of the steering ,then the low pressure or return side to the return.

not xzatly rocket science.

Dont forget the power steering pump valve for the ls1/ford power steering pressure issues.

What kind of pressure issues are created? How do I fix that problem?

I think the LS pump makes to much pressure and will blow out the seals in your rack. I remember seeing something about a restrictor fitting or something like that. I went manual steering with power brakes. No mess, no leaks, less weight.
