Default Rack and pinion install

Hey Guys,

I'm installing a new rack and pinion on my del sol and I stumbled upon something. The reman Cardone rack and pinion that I bough have O-ring where the three power steering line ( Pressure and 2 return line) connect to the rack and pinion. I've already installed the rack and pinion but I'm not sure if I'm suppose to use the oring before I tighten the lines back up. I did research and can't find anything. I also have the factory manual and it doesn't mention the O-ring. I'm guessing our civics don't use those but I want to make sure before I put everything back up. Thanks!

Terry
