Default converting to PTEF Hose
Converting the steel braided fuel line hose to PTEF. Can the AN fittings on the braided hose be reused on the PTEF hose?
Or will I have purchase fittings for the PTEF hose?

No they cannot - the PTFE hose I used (Goodridge) required a different fitting design, so I had to replace everything outright. That was not cheap.

Sadly, the fittings are probably the most expensive part, especially if you need anything other than straight ones. I had to use a bunch of 90* ends, and that added up FAST.
