If I remember correctly, the new rear is 2" wider than the old one so it might not reach. You don't want to take bends out of it if you can avoid it.

If you want to you can go to NAPA and get bulk brake line and make your own if you have access to a tubing bender and a flaring tool... but you have to do a 100% awesome job, no "that's good enough" like some guys do. Also, you can't use a compression union to join the lines, no matter what people might tell you. It fits and can hold a little pressure but won't last, and it's illegal anyway.
