Maybe, but doubtful on the upper hose, because the inlet at the radiator is on the wrong side of the radiator; stock Camaros with big blocks had the upper inlet on the drivers side. Lower one should be fine.

I've always been able to find molded hoses that work by taking a coat hanger or welding rod and bending it into the shape I needed, and head down to the local auto parts store and compare to their hoses. Remember you only need a section that matches your shape, often you end up trimming one end or the other from the hose you find. You also need to know your diameters, usually 1 3/4" up top and 2" on the lower for the standard big block/small block.

That upper one looks easy, especially since you have a swivel thermostat housing; it could point straight ahead if needed and the hose would be a pair of right angles, but I'd shoot for a 45 (135 degree) angle with two straight sections.
