Default Can I home brew up some new AC lines?

So I run sort of a hybrid AC system under the hood, I use most of the stock parts that came on my car but have upgraded the compressor to a Sanden style. I was able to stretch and bend around my 30 year old AC lines to make them work with the new compressor, but have never liked the arrangement. Here's a picture.



Fast forward about 5 years and now the end of the line over by the dryer has started leaking oil (probably because of the stretch) so it is time to fix this. What I'd like to do is make up some new lines to reroute them around the core support in front of the radiator.

Is there a kit I can buy that has bulk line and the fittings I'd need for both connections at the compressor, the dryer, and the condenser? I think I have another back to the compressor that has straight out fittings which might make the compressor ends easier to do, I'll look for that. My main concern is getting the right ends for each of the lines and being able to create the right crimps to hold the fittings in place properly.
