I need to relocate my vertical PS lines to clear crossover/DP - question I need to redo my vertical power steering lines to clear my crossover and downpipe. I plan to use braided hose for the rack to PS pump lines. There are a host of parts listed in the sticky up top, but I'm unsure which parts I need for just the vertical lines.
To further "complicate" things, I want to get rid of my factory power steering cooler and use a frame rail cooler like THIS. From what I've read, the cooler would be placed in line on the return side? If that's the case, I would need to have the pressure line from the pump to the rack braided and the fittings to go with that (vertical line closer to the passenger side). Then I can cut off the factory fitting for the return, run that to one side of the cooler, then the other side of the cooler to the pump return using rubber power steering hose that comes with the cooler.
Which of the below parts will I need for what I'm trying to accomplish? One EAR-991955ERL, one RUS-620421, and some braided power steering hose?
Thanks!

2 x EAR-991955ERL (M16x1.50 o-ring to -6AN Male) - rack return, pressure side of pump
1 x EAR-991956ERL (M18x1.50 o-ring to -6AN Male) - pressure side of rack
3 x RUS-620421 (90 degree -6 hose ends) - Both rack ports, pressure side of pump hose ends
1 x RUS-620401 (Straight -6 hose end) - Hose to pump reservoir, along with
RUS-670300 (Straight -6 to hose barb) - Braided line to rubber hose, which clamps to reservoir fitting
1 x RUS-632610 (6 foot section of power steering hose)

I'm not ordering $150 worth of parts for one braided line and two fittings 
A writeup I found used the metal "stub" on the return side line on the rack (cut off, then re-routed with rubber house) to the PS cooler, then the other end of the PS cooler goes to the reservoir.

Definitely the more time/cost effective option.
I actually ended up using the parts in my original post not long after making this thread. Since it was bumped, here is an update pic. It wasn't too difficult to do, probably took me about an hour, but MT's is cheaper than all the parts combined so if I did it all over again, I'd go that route.
