Default G body fuel lines

I recently picked up a 87 T Type fuel tank for cheap would it be wise to pick up the factory fuel lines as well? My GP originally came with a carbed 305 and the fuel lines exit on the passenger side, The T Type's does the same except they go under the engine cross member and exit at the driver's side. Would those work with my 99 Firebird LS1 and my 85 GP? Thanks!

You're better off with the the passenger side fuel lines, if you mean they are on the passenger side of the engine compartment.

Yeah my original carbed fuel lines probably wont work but exit at the passenger side, though the vent return line is on the drivers side.The t-type original lines end up on the drivers side both the fuel and return. My stock LS1 has the fuel inlet on the drivers side if i am correct... I plan on using the Vette regulator/filter and am eying a Racetronix pump..

I am using the factory 3/8 line on the passenger side, but I cut it off behind the front frame crossmember and ran an aluminum line over to the drivers side. Used a short piece of braided line and connected that to the engine.

Those two go into the Regulator, then the single out to the Rail..
