Stainless fuel, brake replacement

Many companies offer stainless replacement lines (one piece) for both fuel and brake lines. Can these long lines for fuel and brake that run front to back be installed with ease? Do you have to remove equipment/parts to succeed? 1970 vette 454 auto

Brake lines can be replaced by dropping the (auto) transmission crossmember a bit on the driver's side. That's how I did mine on my 72.

No way on the fuel lines, at least not in one piece.

I did all the lines on my 73 with the body off, can't see that it would be possible to do the fuel lines any other way

There is no way of replacing the fuel lines with one piece pre-molded lines without the frame off. The other option is what I just got through doing on my 1975 and that is to get 25' roll of both 3/8 and 1/4 line and run it yourself. You will have to have a tube bender, cutter and flaring tool but it can be done if you want one piece front to rear fuel lines.
