I gotcha. Just wondering if you used compression style, or maybe had a fitting brazed on the tubing. I stick with with flex the entire run, to eliminate fittings. 99.9% of line failures happen at the fitting, so I use as few as possible, with lots of straps. Not saying I'm right or wrong, just works well for me.

No on the compression fittings. I flare and tube nut my hard lines.
THIS is a "plumbing fitting failure"...... Done by a guy that has no brains or skills.... I took this pile off a buddies '55 Chevy and did it the right way for him.
exactly what greg said. i was in the same boat as you were overthinking this. Route the hardline like factory. Flare the ends to a 37 degree. Make your hoses like normal. very very simple and cost effective compared to all flex lines.
