JDM M2B4 Tranny (VSS)
Does anyone know what the deal is with the power steering line which runs under the VSS on the Tranny? I am doing a auto to manual swap and I see these two line running under the VSS. I take a look in the front clip and I see that the line runs into the powersteering resevoir. Do I need this for my swap?

No you don't need to hook those pipes up to anything. I just left both of mine open.

The power assist is proportional to the vehicle speed and steering load. So when the vehicle is in motion( i dont know the exact mph cutoff) the speed sensor pump( the sensor itself is a trochoid-rotor hydraulic pump) relieves a portion of the hydraulic pressure thus reducing power steering assist.
