Default Need advice on Powersteering pump

I have a 5.3 that is going in a 88 mustang that is mostly complete. Im just mocking everything up before so i know it fits and i ran into the problem that my ps pump lines are hitting my turbo manifold. I am using the stock ps pump and alternator using lssimple brackets. Here is a picture of my accessory drive and where the lines hit. I am wondering if anyone knows of a pump with the same mounting holes or a way to move those line out of the way. (Truck PS pump)
Heres a link to the pics. https://imgur.com/a/Op29KJM

you can replace those lines with -an fittings adapters, screw them right in to the back of the pump and make a set of custom -an hoses to route where you need

My ps pump only has one fitting that I can unscrew and the other is permanent. Does anyone a pump that keeps the same truck style but with an fittings for the back?

my pump only has one fitting that actually unscrews the other is a metal line coming out of the pump itself. Does anyone know of a pump that keeps the same truck style but with the ability for an lines in the back?

The metal line is the return, which carries NO pressure. Slip a hose over it and clamp it.
