i would replace all lines anyhow!   you can snake the line between the gas 
tank ok, it will not be clipped down.  i put a dab of silicone at each end and 
it does not move. getting the lines out of the block is easy if you cut then at 
the nut then put the block in a vise and use a 1/4 in drive socket on it. you 
can give the nut a tap with a hammer and i bet you find it will come right 
out. i put a union  just after the gas tank then the longest made up line came 
out just about right without making a new double flare.  please remember no 
compression unions in brake systems! unsafe!  double flares and unions with 
seats. i used a early chevelle master cyl(drum brake car) on mine..one adapter on 
rear port then a plug in the block feeding the rear lines ...brought the rear 
lines to correct port on master.   it is very tight to frame..had to put a bend 
in the flange of the gfram to clear the tubing.  regards tim colson.
