You could have put it all on ahead of time. MUCH easier. Especially the lower bolts. I had everything including the fan installed before I dropped it in. Another thing, is your steering box o ring or flare fittings ? I had to have both lines made by a local hose shop. When I redid the suspension I bought a Monte SS box with o ring fittings to match the new steering pump. Still had to have lines made.

Well I’m a rookie at this I figured it would be easier to get the headers in without the accessories in the way. I just cleaned up the stock steering box and am using it , I believe it had o rings. I did upgrade the steering shaft to the Jeep.
I knew I was going to have something’s to change and figure out so thanks you are being extremely helpful.
