Power Steering Relocation

I just wanted to get some feedback from people on my current project. I've been considering cleaning up my bay for an eternity and, after MUCH research, I decided that removing the power steering just for a cleaner look is senseless. I figured it would be way cooler to just relocate the reservoir and tuck the lines...so I did. Lemme know what you guys think.

In most cases, the reservoir needs to be above the power steering pump since they are gravity fed, maybe someone who knows more about Honda PS pumps can chime in...

Where the heck did you put it?

Whoops, completely missed that

Looks good! Where'd you run the hose and where did you put the injector resistor box?

The hose is all new multifluid hose from napa, and I ran it in the fender wells. The resister box is right inside the fender well too. I've been doing a mild wire tuck as well.

Nice I like! Gonna keep this in mind since my system is dry with the belt off since the rack needs replacing from a bad leak. The only thing I'm worried about is it looks like it'd be pretty hard to remove the clutch master if it needed replacement, like you might have to remove the PS reservoir as well.

Ya I spent some time thinking about the clutch master myself, but if you make sure to leave enough slack in the lines that you run through the fender wells, you should have no problem moving the power steering reservoir out of the way for easy access to it.

dude I have been wondering how to do that myself. I have my engine out right now doing a full wire tuck and shaving/ molding everything then paint just primered everything this will be done before the engine gets put back in.. oh by the way to tuck all the front wires pull the bumper and lights and you can snake everything without extending any wires FYI

I just drilled a couple of holes in the firewall and zip tied it for now. It seems to be just fine like that.
