Truck PS pump in 69 Camaro So I'm doing this on the cheap for now. The truck PS has and additional line for the hydraboost which I do not have. What do I do with that extra port? Can I just block it?
Also is there any special adapters that I have to use to connect the stock PS lines to it?
Thanks!

Just plug the unused return. Preferred to use the lower return if possible.
Stock LS lines or stock '69 lines/box? Either way you'll be adapting at one end or the other. There were OEM o-ring / flare lines in some early 80's applications not sure what will fit on a 1st gen f-body (try search)

Plug the unused return, use the lower port.
The high pressure fitting on the back of the power steering pump can be unscrewed and swapped. You can use your original hoses then.
Or you can use the metric hose, cut the end off that goes to the box, put on an inverted flair fitting and double flair it.
Or theres a company (Lee?) that makes an insert to allow you to mix fittings.
Or you can get metric/inverted flair to JIC adapters (Speedway motors) and make your own hose.
