Default Reworking factory fuel lines

Having never worked with factory gm fuel injection tubing before got a question. I am preparing to install new rails and rail attached pres regulator on an ls1 in a 97 Z that has been swapped over already. Question, what is involved with cutting the lines and adapting over to AN style fittings. Is just a matter of cutting and barb fitting with clamps?
Thanx

This part appears to be discontinued, but I'm sure that there are other manufacturers making this part.

Don't cut your lines and use hose barbs! All you need to disconnect the current flex hose going to the rails, get the correct adapter (as pictured above), and use a -6an or -8an line to the rails.
