Default Getting power steering pump to work B18c1 in DA body

I put a B18c1 obd1 in my 1991 integra LS. I got everything working great with the exception of power steering. I Have to drive 11 stories up a sky scraper every morning to park in my bought parking space so I need power steering.

Here is the issue, the output (high pressure) line from the DA body does not line up at all with the GSR PS pump and the GSR belt is too wide to fit in the LS pump. The pulleys dont interchange so I have three options

1. Switch out the line and put in a line from a GSR, its seems like it would be a pain with the motor in and I dont know if the line fits the same on the rack

2. Take the GSR line to a hydraulic line shop and let them install the GSR tip on the DA line

3. Take my crank pulley from the LS and install it on my GSR motor. This doesnt seem like it would be a good idea since the pulleys are balanced from the factory.

Are there any other options. I couldnt find much info on this since most people want to get rid of PS

Never done this but 2 seems most logical. I hate power steering.

i managed to keep the power steering on this swap. i used the crank pulley from the b18a1 and mounted it on the b18c1. i used the b18a1 ps pump, but it is only secured by one bolt. it has worked fine for the past year that ive run it though.

can anyone chime in and tell me if the crank pulley is balanced the same. I have an impact wrench so getting them off is no problem

and be18see1, the alternator and compressor belts were the same, correct?
