Power steering lines....

87 turbo 5spd:
In process of a motor transplant. At least 80% done as of now. I am hookinng up all the extra tidbits including power steering lines. Well after searrching I think the lines are supposed to route on the back side of the crossmember, under the engine. I did not do this before I dropped the engine in. Now I'm in a bind. I returned my borrowed engine hoist and have no way to lift the engine. I'm looking at buying the DM pressure line and deal with it that way. Are there any better ways to do this?

if you only need to lift part of the motor a couple inches and can do it without unbolting ALL the mounts, you can prolly get away with using a jack and a 2x4 to lift from the sump/oilpan. just make sure you dont put too much pressure on any small point (try to spread out the load with wider/multiple blocks.
