i believe you will need the brake pedal assembly from the sn, and you might have to modify the p/s lines

i have a 98 cobra swap in my 90 lx. easiest way is to remove the old brake booster. weld up the four holes for the booster. grind the welds flat and redrill the holes for the hydrobooster. you will need custom power steering hoses made from a local hydrolic shop. and you can stull use your fox pedals if you want just redrill the bracket for the late booster. i used the 98 pedals in mine for the better spacing (i always cought my foot on the brake when i went for the clutch.

yes just use that patern for the power steering lines. except you dont have to run the lines to the remote resavor since you have one on the pump. im not sure if you can use the fox pump. but i would assume you can. i still use a fox rack and dont notice a difference in steering feel therefore i would assume the pump should work just fine,

so off the power steering pump there will be a high pressure hose that runs from the pump to the hydraboost. then there will be another high pressure hose that runs from the hydroboost to the power steering rack. then off the rack there will be a low pressure hose that comes off the rack. indicated on your car by a standard hose clamp and another low pressure hose off the hydro boost that you will run down and "t" in wht the other low pressure hose off the rack. run that to one port on the power steering cooler. then off the cooler run the hose back to the low pressure port on the power steering pump. basically eliminating the blue and teal lines in your schematic. but a little different at the same time :/.... pm me if you want some pics.
