Default 80 lt1 swap question

I'm installing a 94 c4 lt1 into 80 c3. Looking for parts for the install.

Anyone know what thottle cable I can use (from pedal to throttle body)? Wasn't sure if the 93 c4 cable can be used or not.

Kick down cable for 700r4 to lt1 throttle body (I do not have the 93 c4 lt1 bracket yet). Can I use the 93 c4 cable as well?

Can the 94 c4 Power steering high pressure line be used?

Thanks for all the help.

The '94 lt1 does not have or need the t/v cable for the trans. If you are in fact going to run a 700 r4 you will need a '92-93 auto throttle body and the cables with brackets.

I did an LT1 T56 swap on my 1980 C3. I used a 1994 Camaro/Firebird throttle cable, not sure if C4 will fit.
I built a hybrid PS line using Camaro/Firebird hardline at the pump, C3 hardline from the cylinder, then had a hydraulic shop crimp on the soft line.
I'm not sure on the throttle valve cable for the trans but, I've used the Camaro/Firebird cable on other swaps without problems.
It is important to note that I have typically used Camaro/Firebird throttle body cable brackets, I don't remember there being a significant difference between those and C4 though.
