I'm having some difficulty getting off the power steering pump lines. Is there a trick to this or some special tools I should be using???

If I'm going to loop the 2 lines into each other to reverse it back to manual steering, will it see the high pressure fluid or will it be low pressure? I'm wondering if I should go to a store and have them put collars on the hoses or if I can just use some steel ring clamps.

You don't want to convert to manual steering this way - have you ever driven a PS car that has stalled for example? You will need to get a manual steering box - ones from S-10s are commonly used for this conversion.
