Header install around trans cooler lines

Spent most of the day today installing headers on my 318 in my 68 Valiant. They're in place with small clearances but I can deal with that. I've got trans cooler lines that are touching the headers in one spot and completely in the starter's space as well. One is pretty obviously bent. What is the best plan with these, can I just cut them, flare them and replace with long section of hose or is there a good technique to bending them?
I slipped DEI insulting tube over my tranny lines and called it good.
