1990 pickup 3.4 swap radiator overflow mount issue

I have a 1990 toyota pickup extra cab..it use to have a 3.0 from a 1994 toyota pickup but I decided to finally swap it. The only real issue I've ran into is where everyone usually just flips the bracket on the radiator overflow and just remounts it to the core support I don't have the clearance to do it. My power steering cooler lines are in the way which doesn't alow me to drop the tank down far enough to mount it.. Anybody run into this issue? I've tried searching but can't find anything.

Maybe your truck is different but on my92 4Runner

I have the over flow sitting in front of the battery box the cooler lines run parallel behind the radiator above the lower hose.

I did not have any clearance problems

Then my washer fluid tank sits behind the battery in front of the charcoal canister.

Here's a photo of my setup,there's not enough room between those lines and the battery

Right about where the steel lines come out of the rubber is where I mounted the cooler .

Giving me plenty of room

This is a swap so you can move things around to make things work.
