Default LSX swap in 1996 Impala SS

Here is what I have going so far.
-LS6 crate motor/ gm hot cam
-FLT level 4 4l60e
-Yank SS3600
-Custom harness
-f-body pacesetter headers
-CTS-V front accessory's
I have a couple questions:
1. How to run and what to use for power steering lines
2. Will the stock fuel pump and system work as long a I run a return off the rails?

The stock pump is weak. That's cheap insurance u don't want it to run lean.
