It would certainly be a lot easier to work in there if you move the PS pump aside. You might be able to do the lower hose without all the work if you can get to the clamp, but it's a ways under there. Maybe from underneath with the valance removed.
Once you are into moving the pump, you might want to pull the pump and put new o-rings on it. Probably a couple hours work for the complete job. Most of us ignore the lower hose and the little u shaped return until we have to do the pump. If you do the o-rings, be sure to hone the opening into the block with some #400 wet/dry paper as there's often rust on there that will score the new o-rings.
Carrying the little u shaped hose in the truck is not worthwhile - it's not something you would ever do on the road.
