Yes I just finished my 99 cobra ls swap. Do a search and there are several sn95 and new edge swaps. They are very similar to foxbody swaps.

I did a 96 gt with a hydro boost, my 6.0 has the f-body location accessories and I just had the pressure hose made up to connect the pump to line and works great. I left the ford stuff in it, **** I still was the cooler line, lol

heres mine. I just had a friend cut the factory GM PS pressure line and the FORD PS pressure line to the hydroboost and attach them together. the GM line could've been cut shorter to make it look better, but it gets the job done.

the return line goes to the rack with a "T" that meets with the Hydroboost return line

you can see the "T" just under the pressure line 90
