RB20 Crossmember Swap??????

Ok we all know that you can use the RB20DET crossmember and you can put it into your s13. My question is, how do you run the power steering lines? I know your suppose to swap the rack and pinon, but else is there that needs to be done for this to work. I have a 90 hatch, so it has the ka24e rack pinion if there is any difference. I tried searching on all the forums but didnt find anything.

A friend of mine has a cefiro cross member for his RB20, cefiro is very similar to S chassis , I would try it out. So that why you dont have to buy the mount kit.

Why not buy a mount kit? It lines up 100 times better, and my mount kits are only $250. its not even worth the hassle of switching everything around, and having clearance issues.
if you want pics, or any info, I can help you out with pics of both ways.

Does anybody even sell A31 crossmembers anymore? I'm also interested in how the A31 xmember locates the engine in the engine bay.
