Yeah, I'm confused by Paul's statement, as well. My pictures above show the nylon braided hose I used with AN fittings.. Here is a link of what I bought--

Does this not work for you, Paul?

Can you explain what you did with your PCV system? Did you drill and tap your LS6 PCV valley cover and your fast intake?? This looks awesome!

Yeah, all hose nipples were carefully drilled and tapped for pipe threads and AN adapters installed. The hose barb was cut off the LS6 PCV nipple and a tubing to AN adapter installed. The PCV hose will first go to one of my Skippy glass jar catch cans that'll be located where the battery belongs.
The pressed in hose nipple on the throttle body kept me up at night so it got tapped with a bottoming tap and a swivel fitting went in.
A shot of the rear steam fittings and another looking at the purge valve and relocated OPSU behind it:

It's not fun.
You have to make a CLEAN cut on the braided line, then gently sear any stray nylon material with a lighter. Start one side into the fitting and then gently coerce the other half in the fitting. Sometimes you will get really close, and it requires a small flat head screw driver to push the hose into the fitting.
Youtube how to install AN Fittings, and you can see how it's done. Believe me when I say the nylon braided hose is far easier to install than the stainless steel braided hose!
Also, I have found aeroquip fittings are far easier to install than other brands...

Good call on the tape.. I completely forgot to mention that, and it's probably the most important part of getting a clean cut!

Embarrassingly, I didn't know the fitting came apart to insert the hose. I thought you just had to jam it in there until watching a video. Got it all hooked up, topped off coolant...and it started leaking. I didn't know one of the joints was loose lol. Drain some fluid, tighten, top off and done. I'll cross my fingers before starting it tomorrow. Appreciate the tips!
