Default SDCE tensioner setup and power steering cooler

Ok I have the SDCE kit on my prochrager set up and I also have a second radiator fan the 9in one that EPP sells. anyways it is a major PITA to work that tensioner without removing my fans. I was thinking if I could relocate my Power steering cooler I would be able to work it with out removing my fans. has anyone done this and what hose have you used for the upper radiator. I can get an external cooler but I just don't wat to put a pipe in place of it I want to run a hose that way it will push out of the way some.

I got rid of my PS cooler long ago, way too much of a pain with the SDCE. I just use a non-PS cooler upper hose.

Did you just go to any old parts store to get one? I wasn't sure if all the f-bodies had that power steering cooler or not.

The cooler was on some F-Bodies. Mine did not come with one. I think the later years had them. I am sure you can just get an upper hose from any store.

I just got a regular Z28 hose at the dealership. I run no ps cooler and have been fine for over 2 years without it.

Can you post pictures of your setup? I have been thinking about getting a different setup for my car. Also what is their web address? Is it located on there site? Sorry for the Hijack.

Thanks,
