Default removing power steering cooler?

i just want to be sure i remove the correct line. do i take the complete rubber hose off. then take the metal line/rubber hose coming from the rack and swing it around to the fitting under the resevor, where i removed the shorter hose.

then i purchase a upper radiator from a non cooled model. would like to know asap as im already working on car and would like to get it out of the way already.

thanks Steve

yeah i did not get any repsonse from anyone. just thought i could get someone to verify. i read someone else made a mistake and switched a hose. but i went ahead and move the one hose and put it to the bung on the tank. and plugged the pipe in the coolant hose till i get my new upper hose had to order it. drove the car yesterday and all was ok.
