Default need help with 80e swap

I have pretty much everything for the swap here or on the way, but I'm stuck at the trans lines. I don't want to extend them, but I heard the suburban lines work. Is that true? If so what is the part number of the line? Also where can I get the transgo shift kit and vette servo for the trans? Can you post a link, I've loooked but failed
Thanks

Im sure the suburban lines will work or one from a 2500 truck, its the line in the rear of the trans. make sure to get a trans cooler i used lines from a 2500 truck ans still need to be modified up front for the trans cooler.

I used the part numbers from kysilverado write up, lined up perfectly for my trans cooler.

The ones from KY's thread only work 100% if you have a factory cooler. But i just cut them and bypassed the rad anyway.
