Made my own clutch lines, part numbers inside I did a T56 swap into my '01 Silverado and made my own pressure and bleed lines. Here are some part numbers. Prices are from Summit w/o shipping. Comes to a little over $100 w/o shipping and with some extra parts and hose.
Pressure line fittings:
Russell clutch fittings, -3AN to master and slave – 640281 $22
Fragola -3AN hose end – 600103 $6 (line to slave fitting)
Aeroquip -3AN hose end 45 degree $11 (line to master fitting, 45 degree worked great for me, f-bodies may be better with something else)
Remote bleed fittings:
Fragola -3AN to 3/8-24 inverted flare – 650501 $7 (to hold the speed bleeder)
Russell 3/8-24 speed bleeder, pair – 639590 $10
US Brake -4AN to 10mm x 1.5 adapter - 7010-0007 $7 (screws into the slave bleed hole)
Fragola -3AN to -4AN hose end – 600103 $7 (line to slave bleed fitting)
Hose:
Fragola -3AN hose, 10’ – 601003 $23 (only needed about 7', probably less for f-bodies)
Biggest problem was finding a fitting that has the correct flare for the speed bleeder. The Fragola 650501 is flared in the wrong direction. It still might seal but I decided to do it the correct way. So I bought a 5/16" 90 deg. countersink bit, put the fitting in a lathe, and countersunk the ID of the fitting. Worked great. If you know where to find the correct fitting let me know. It might be a bubble flare or something.
Also, the Russell fitting that goes into the slave also needed to be machined down slightly, around 0.010", to get it to even go into the slave. Not sure what was up with that. I'd maybe try a different brand.
The US Brake fitting that goes into the slave bleed hole came with a sealing washer. I also used ARP 100-9904 on this fitting. ARP says it works with brake fluid.
1000+ miles and no obvious leaks yet.

You can see the inside of the Fragola fitting is flared the wrong direction

Those are awesome dude!! I've had a hell of a time installing my tick performance fitting into my slave. The valve in the line is getting stuck. Anyway one suggestion why dont you try finding a longer nut that sticks out of the bell housing so if you have to take it off you can easly access it...

Yes, the only downside is that you have to pull the lines with the trans, at least enough to unhook them from the slave. I looked at quick disconnect fittings but they were major $$$. Or you could plumb in some simple threaded fittings into the lines just outside the trans, that would be a cheaper solution.
