fuel line removal on carb LG4 car

Without removing the transmission... how do I remove the fuel lines from a carb car where the fuel lines crossover the top of the transmission. Im changing the fuel lines to a fuel injection car where they run straight down the drivers side. Is it possible to cut the lines? Anybody ever accomplished this?

Re: fuel line removal on carb LG4 car

main thing I need to know--- is there a clip at the top of the transmission tunnel that holds the fuel lines to the bottom. Im trying to avoid taking the transmission out or cutting the lines in 2 to get them out. Im changing them to a Fuel injection setup I pulled out of another car.

Re: fuel line removal on carb LG4 car

You can keep your lines, you just need to add the high-pressure connectors where there are currently clamped hoses.
