Finally finished replacing the PS pump. What is the best way to flush the lines, the steering box and pump itself? Also, is the power steering cooler a huge necessity? Don't have the A/C compressor that it hangs on anymore, but I could always get some rubber line extensions and mount it on the frame somewhere. I just don't want a dorky looking install with it hanging where I'll scrape my knuckles on it on a regular basis. Does everyone still use it?

You're gonna want to keep the cooler.

this seems to be a good flush procedure.

It's for a r&p style, but I don't see any reason it wouldn't work on our cars.
you can skip the first section on the turbo coupe specific stuff. Go down to the "on to the oil change" section
