Power steering ??? 79 malibu
On my Monte I used a factory replacement hose for a non-AC car. Cars with AC have a switch in the PS pressure line which I got rid of, replacement hose for an AC car comes as 2 parts, one of which is just an elbow that went from the switch to the steering box.
Did you put the old pressure valve into the new pump? Most G-bodies are mostly metric and work with a lot of the new stuff... but I'm not sure if your Bu is still mostly SAE sizes/threads.

Junk yard is a good place to find other valves...and since they fit in your pocket they are just about as free as the one that came on the car originally.
I think even the LS valves work with the pressure lines, pick one up at the local parts store and see if it will work. You might not mind the steering feel but I read about others' complaints and decided to just run a Monte Carlo valve and toss the truck valve.
Or you can look for a place that makes custom PS lines...
Or you can run -AN lines/fittings/adapters for a "build your own" custom line

Napa sells a ps repair line. It comes as a metric fitting with the 5.3 flared and about 6 or 7 inches of hard line. I flared the open end to a 45° flare and used a brake line fitting and coupler to join the 2 together. On my caprice they had an adapter fitting that was metric male and standard female but they couldn't find the part number for that particular fitting.
