after messing around for a few hours with the new lines and realizing what else was going to need to be done to make them work, the owner and I decided just to remove the SLS from the car.
Thanks for the response with your experience. I had a feeling things wouldn't be that easy. Between having to replace the extra items and dropping the subframe to get the new lines in, I guess I'm going to take the advice of another member here and splice in new sections using a bubble flare tool and 9000 PSI splice fittings.

I'm going to order the stuff for the lines and some accumulators and try to get this done ASAP.
