Default Brake Lines

Hey guys so ive recently found out that I need new brake lines on my 98 z28 due to some rust. So I plan on ordering a whole pre bent kit. on a scale of 1-10 how hard is it to do the brake lines on this car? any other misc brackets/parts i should have available due to breaking them and what not?

I don't personally know of any "pre-bent" kits out there, but I'll just give you a caution that you may have to get help from someone with a TechII tool, when it comes time to bleed the system, because you'll likely drain the ABS block while you have all the lines off.
