Running custom AN coolant lines

Running custom AN coolant lines
Good evening,
I have a LS376/525 crate motor with a Meziere 55gpm remote electric pump. No oil cooling, if relevant. I’m looking to convert the entire cooling system to AN lines and want to know what the minimum ID everyone feels comfortable with. I was originally considering -16AN or -20AN, but I’m limited on space. I see that ICT has a remote kit that only uses -12AN, but seems small to me? Anybody have any insight? Thanks.
Best,
Eric

Eric,
I used -24AN since the stock LS3 is 1.5” but that was in a mid engine car with approximatly 10’ between pump and radiator.
I wouldn’t go smaller than -20AN with a more normal distance pump/rad.
