No, you'll have to drill two extra holes on one side.

So on the booster, the top line goes the the pressure out line from the power steering pump, so did you tee the line between the pump and the steering gear?

Go back and read the thread all the way though, it will answer all your questions.

Power Steering Pump from 24 valve (This pump has two return lines so you don't have to use a tee in the lines).

Suggestions:

You might want to buy 2 ADEL(P-clamps) to firmly separate the lines where the make the 90 degree bend and are rubbing. Chaffing will only wear a hole in your lines.

I'd buy hydraulic hose instead of using fuel line for the return as it is made for hydraulic fluid. They come in different sizes- 3/8 would be #6 (as the hose sizes are in 1/16 of an inch).
Any hydraulic hose place will have lots of fittings making connecting easier(for someone trying to duplicate).

What is your cost on the installation?

Don't recall the cost, for sure. Somewhere around $400 maybe. Just depends on how cheaply you can source used 2nd gen parts.

I'd love it too. Why we aren't allowed to edit our own post is

I'm currently transferring the images to a new Imgur account, I'll have a link soon.

EDIT: Here you go. I tried to put them in a somewhat sequential order, but it should definitely help out.
