What I found as an easier solution on the whole power steering issue is remove the fitting off the back of your original power steering pump and put it in the power steering pump you have now (the one with the extra return line). By replacing that fitting you can now use your existing/stock power steering hoses with the new LS pump. Might have to tweak/bend just a little.

I'll check out the link although in a couple of the links early in my thread I have links to FAQ threads in a couple of places that discuss the different oil pans and their dimensions.

Good info on the 3rd hose. I don't have the old lines and I have all new lines on the new pump, that's why I was trying to go the other way. I'll price some new "old" lines tomorrow and if not to expensive, I'll just do that.
