I went thru this on my 93 non-turbo. At least you have the #1 fun part (the pump) taken care of.
There are three hoses. One goes from the reservoir to the pump. It is no-pressure (gravity only). Then there's one from the pump to the rack, high pressure. Then the rack to reservoir...a medium pressure line, often with filter in-line.
(Trying to remember). the second two connect to the rack on the driver side. Can't remember which is which but they have different hex sizes (mine did). You can foloow the line from there to the otehr end to see which one it is.
All three lines are available separately. eEuropean is you best bet in general, but even the local NAPA store or Kragens might have them (look on line at partsamaerica.com)
For Line #1, the feed line, no pressure, all you need is oil resistance and the ends are hose clamped so a generic oil-resistant line from NAPA might work fine (don't let it crimp! Trim is so there's minimum slack)
Stay cool, don't get pissed off (I did and it tool me a week to cool donw and resume the project!<G>). It helps a lot if you can find a place that will let you use their lift. something about lyuing on your back....<G>
