I just removed the transmission lines because the Champ Road Racing pan is blocking the fctory routing of the lines. I plan to replace them with braided stainless steel transmission lines and AN fittings. I may totally relocate the entire transmission cooling to the rear of the car, but I'm still weighing the pros and cons of this. the transmission is still sitting on its jack under the car waiting to get raised into position but I'm waiting for motivation to get that one accomplished. I have lots of little jobs that need attention prior to finishing too... I could drag this out for months but really need to get moving. Thanks for the prod.
I would not recommend either. The factory arrangement (airflow in the front of the car) is the way to go. I would cut the steel lines in front of the pan obstruction, double flare the ends, bend new lines from that point to the trans case, and connect them with unions. Hard to beat the simplicity and function of the factory deal.
