Default 91 DX powersteering?

I bought a 91 civic hatch DX shell, it has these lines running down the right side from where the radiator is to the firewall and down into a box near the steering column... are those for powersteering? They're cut from the previous owner but he left them in still. Did DX's have powersteering?

No, only the Sedans had it.

any idea what those lines are than? They go up to the radiator, loop around, and go back.

You could do that if you wanted to. You don't really have to swap racks . . . you can just loop the line back into the rack and run it like that.

Yes, but it would be a bit pointless.

I have a DX hatch and it has power steering. It`s a 5spd, and my parts car has power steering to. I just swap it out for a manual rack just cause it`s better but hatchs` came with power steering too, no just sedans.

er... yeah I know... mine has powersteering and I don't want it. Whoever had the car before me cut the lines though so I posted this originally to find out wtf they were for I didn't think DX's had powersteering. Anyway I guess I'm just gonna loop them together, anyone know which two connect? There are 3 lines near the crossmember..
