Default atf+4 vs PS fluid

Is it ok to use atf+4 in PS pump when adding fluid? It has regulsr PS fluid in it now,is it OK to mix the two? Any opinions?

Shouldn't be a problem.
Why not top up with PS fluid if that whats in there?
I flushed out my system and replaced it with ATF +4 5 yrs ago and no problems.

Well lets just say I'm home and had to replace my PS cooler, I have some ATF+4 , but ran out of PS fluid during my steering gear box debacle, and right now I'm not going to be driving! If you catch my drift! LOL

BTW! I notice you have shorty headers, are they direct replacement for the stock manifolds? Or is there some modification needed? I know if LT's are used modification is required of course.

Thanks all, I know I read here somewhere that it is pretty much the same. Just couldn't find the thread.
