Default Brake line size?

I am getting ready to order some Copper Nickel brake line to bend up for my 69 Firebird track car. Stock lines were 3/16" to each front corner and on the rear end for the rear corners. The long run from the master to the rear was 1/4". Should I stick with these sizes for my manual 6/4 piston Willwod setup. or would all 3/16" be fine?

All 3/16 the old 1/4 was for drum brakes.

If you do ABS do 1/4 to the ABS module then 3/16 to the corners.
