Sorry I had to create another one of these , I searched the forum and found 2 pages of power steering, but not containing anything I was working for.

Anyways, I got an issue with P/S line , I know it's suppose to bolt right in if I had a DOHC line but it won't because the SR20 line is cut. My question is would I just need to swap the KA line and bolt it on to the SR ? If I'm suppose to do that would I just need to swap out the sensors?

Here's a picture below

SR line with sensor



So I just need to verify would I just need to plug the Ka and hook it up to the SR and swap out the sensor with the SR one?

My understanding is that this is sensor that will kick the engine idle up a few hundred rpm if you try to crank the wheel back and forth while completely stopped (to provide additional assist from the engine driven pump).

It's not required and will not cause any issues if it's not hooked up.

This is correct. The switch is unnecessary.
