If you go the rubber hose "universal" route, pay attention to some of those amazon specials. Need to make sure they are rated for the heat and has the fiber reinforcement/webbing molded in. While not a ton of pressure, there is some, and throw in the hot oil and you want it to be the best you can find. Happy hunting.
Metal 90* is a good idea if yo can get it to fit and rotate in such a tight spot. Pay attention to internal size of fitting as well. Some of those fitting can have a smaller ID than oem.
Disregard if just a vent line. Pretty much anything will work for that.

I have identical lines. I bought an extra set 20 years a go, never used them, no need. Unless you cut the lines to remove the engine, there is never a reason to replace them. I've disconnected mine many times, still good.
What about using brake line instead of the spring? Don’t have any and not sure I can get them locally.

I cut one taking the motor out because it didn’t want to come off the fitting. Wasn’t thinking. Just figured I’d replace them both though the old ones are pretty hard.

OK. I saw a fairly good job but can't find the photo. Use transmission cooler line (Oreilys) Off the nipples, loop them out all the way past the exhaust pipe, then curl them back inward to the transmission.and down.
