Help!!!: Working out the bugs on SOHC to DOHC and auto to 5-spd.

First off I just did my SOHC to DOHC swap. Also I did a auto to manual swap. It runs fine (other then on knock sensor..I should get the new one tomorrow). But I am having a couple problems. Just for fyi, I bought the car with no engine in it. Its a 90 and was a auto.

The first thing is the power steering, I for some reason dont have any. Since I didn't have a engine in the car before (like a SOHC one) I didn't have a power steering pump. So I bought one used from a guy on another 240 forum. He said it worked. So I get it put it in and I dont have any power steering. Everything is hooked up. Nothing leaks. I just simply dont have power steering. So what should I do? What should I check?

Second is the shifter, In first, third and fifth it hits the center console but goes into gear. If I put the radio trim in its even worse and wont even go into gear. Why in the world is it doing this? I mean when I'm in first third or fifth and I have my hand on the knob my hand would hit the head unit if I had one in. I know the engine and tranny are mount the right way becuase I have everything bolted down. So why in the world is it doing this?

Ok...thats a pic with the radio trim off and in neutral.


This pic is with the radio trim off and in gear. It does go into gear with the radio trim off. If you look close you can see it is touching.

This pic is with the radio trim on and me pushing the shifter forward. I dont go into gear.


If you need more pics I can take some. Anything to get it to work right

Third is a vacuum line. I got the 4 connected that come out of the throttle body. But their is one more...its to the side of the 4 on the TB. It faces to the passenger fender well (sorta) as to the 4 under the TB face to the front of the car. Where does that vacuum line go?

I'll take a pic of what I'm talking about alittle bit later today. If you need anymore info I'll try my best to awnser. Thanks everyone.
