Default Power steering conversion

Now that i have my early style motor out and getting ready to build up its late model replacement, iv noticed that i will need to use the late style PS pump and that will require changing out the pressure line to the rack. can i just use the late style line (banjo with washers at the pump) vs the compression fitting old style? feed line from rez should be ok....

anyone else do this?

yep, pressure line has different fitting, and feed hose needs to be modified, but the rest looks good.
