I got new cooler lines for my 67 Barracuda, 318 with a 904, floor shift. The old lines crossed under the front of trans pan and routed up the passenger side. I have yet to figure out how the new ones route, but’s going to be way different.

Does anyone have any good photos?

If new are identical to OEM, there will be a U shape bend near lower radiator hose area in the tube that attaches left side of radiator. Other tube turns 90 degrees right then forward to right side of radiator. Single sheet metal bracket at a trans bolt near starter captures both tubes.
I once pulled OEM tubes out the front of a a-body that didn't have a radiator in it with minimal effort. I imagine they would go in same way. Disconnect neg' battery cable just incase a tube bumps starters hot post on the way.
 
i bought new ones for a 70 duster, be sure and read the paper work, mine had some bends in them to get them in a shorter box due to shipping cost.
 
The lines that came on the car appear to have been scavenged from a Volare or something - nothing like the new ones. They start on the left side of the trans, cross under the front of the pan to the right side, got a lot of extra bends (and kinks), then connected to the radiator.

I have discovered lots of “Roadkill” engineering on this car.
