need help almost got my car on road but....

Here is my set up. it is a 69 dodge dart originally a /6 but now has a 73 340 and a 4 speed in it.

i am adding powersteering as this car will be a driver for me and it is the last thing that needs to be done before i can drive this thing again.

However i go to hook up the pressure hose and notice there is an ear from the k member directly behind the input on the pump.

It is the Saginaw pump btw

The hose has a rather large radius bend in it i am wondering if anyone has delt with this problem before and how they mitigated it. Should i re work the bend in the hose? Or should i try to grind down the piece on the k-member however it is what the motor mounts to so i would think that is not a good idea.

Here are some pictures so you can hopefully see what i am talking about. All help is greatly appreciated.
