Default Hose and Fittings kit

I am looking at replacing all my engine bay plastic & ugly hoses with some braided hoses and AN fittings, has anyone done this yet? If so what did you do ? Is there a whole kit or did you piece together and did you have any trouble with certain connections ? I have been to JEGS site but I don't see any kits just pieces.
Thanks,

Man a lot of work & one kind are the other in welding ends on stuff.
I did this on my 57 chev 2 door HT. I had over 2,k in the A/C & all the fittings & lines. Plus a big PITA also but now that it is all over looks really nice.. Robert

I never had a kit for the stuff I plumb, always one-offs. Just make your own... like in the ol' days. Except today there are better tools to help do so, such as Koul's, for example. Give it a try.
