Some people cut them and splice a line in. Im going to try to keep my cooler. I don't see why it wont fit. Just cut some extra room. What kit do you have?

You're kidding, right? Do you understand how hot that fluid can get, or even consider the concept that it's there for a reason. By not allowing an avenue for the fluid to vent, it will expand, obtain and retain a considerable amount of heat, and will eventually cause damage to the power steering system. The cooler line is there for a reason.

Taken from ETS RACE FMICthe power-steering cooler will be removed. After selling over 1000 kits without any resulting power steering problems, this does not present any type of long-term issue
The OP has a 1g you have to run the pipes threw the "D" Shaped holes with most Short route kits which can cause some clearance issues as you already have to enlarge them.When I did my FMIC I put the power steering line behind the support bracket in the middle. I have the VRSF kit and there was zero issues running my lines that way.
As a counter point to this and as other are saying.
Not that your wrong...
But, I've been running mine like this for many years and have had no issues... .
To quote ETS as you have to remove the lines to run there kit Taken from ETS RACE FMIC
I might just be jaded on the whole thing myself. I had an acquaintance who did this when installing a front mount on his GST. Not only did the temperature of the fluid soar, he ended up going through 2 power steering pumps in less than a 6 month period. I simply found it ironic that after he removed that cooler line against my input, he had power steering issues on a mechanical level. He shortly went over to an external power steering cooler and never had another issue.
thats the thing i dont need the whole set just the 3 gaskets i listed tb elbow, bov, and j-pipe
