Sorry RMCHGR, without reading your whole question, I say nope! Nope! Nope!.

Keep those lines away from any heat source (engine) (Headers) and especially anywhere that a projectile or spinning part (Balancer) (flex plate) (Convertor) could rupture them. I also highly recommend using copper line as I do and run them along the side inner fender walls all the way back to the tranny. Copper just as in radiators has been known to keep temperatures down a tad and anything helps in keeping these things cool.
