bending AC lines

[sharkbait]

has anyone tried to bend ac lines? looking at my S10's lines and pics of syty ac lines, im thinking the s10's stock ac lines will be in the way.

im gonna try to get some pics tomorrow. i was thinking of asking a friend of mine to make me some braided lines with the appropriate fittings on them. he works for a bus company and he can make up all kinds of braided/ ac lines.

but my real question is does anyone know if you can heat and bend the lines a little? if so, can the lines be full?

thanks guys.

Yes, I've bent mine slightly to gain needed clearance.
Just don't go hog wild & go slowly. You don't want a kink.

No heat needed & yes, I just used my hands.

$110 for the line from the stealership. I just bought one this spring.
