Brake problem on my vette

I am having the worst time ever getting the old brake lines out of my proportioning valve on my 74 vette. I was wondering if anyone had any advice other than using rust removers and a wide range of tools.

maybe a little bit of heat? Don't go nuts, but that may be just enough to expand and contract stuff to break the lines free.

well a lot of it is rounded from the former owner so I also need something like a locking wrench that can fit in a space barley large enough for a small hex wrench
