Corvette Power Steering Hose

I have a corvette pulley setup on my LS2. I am working on adapting my stock power steering box (Chevelle) to the power steering pump.
Does anyone know if the power steering high pressure line, connection is the same between the vette, GTO and the camaro?
I just need a line that I can take to the local hydraulic shop to make the hose.

I believe that the fitting on the pump is metric and the fitting on the steering box will be SAE. I took my LS1 hose to the hose shop along with the original hose from the steering box to the hose shop and told them to take the LS1 hose and put a fitting "like this" on the other end as the hose was long enough. On mine there was a hard loop near the pump that I believe acts as an anti siphon to keep the pump from losing its prime.

i cant remember if the vette pump has an o ring fitting or not, but i used an adapter fitting to #6 an on the pump, and same at the box, which takes a flare fitting to #6-then i had a line made up with #6 females on both ends
pretty sure the pump was a metric o ring, the box was either 11/16 or 5/8 inverted flare
for a return i used 3/8 hose over the vette resv., and a #6 hose end on the other end, with another inverted flare to #6 fitting

I used a straight fitting coming off the pump on the pressure side with a 90* at the steering box. The return has a 90* fitting on the steering box and just slips over the nipple on the reservoir. When you get the pressure hose made have them crimp the straight fitting then take the hose home and clock the 90* so it flows with the natural curve of the hose, then take it back and have it crimped.
