Hydroelectric line routing

I'm in the final phase of hydoelectric system removal on my 49.  Only components left are the 3 supply lines that go from the pump and top control valve under the body and then into the interior at the back of the front seat. 

It looks these lines were installed on the body before it was mounted to the chassis since they turn in between the body and center top of the frame (first picture) and then about a foot later enter at the back of the front seat (second picture).

Has anyone had any luck removing the supply lines and replacing in the same path without raising the body?  They appear to be wedged in there with soft and hard body/vibration mounts.

As the first picture shows, one of the harnesses (trunk harness shown hydro harness already removed) follows the same path but does not go as far in between the body and frame so I was able to pull it out.  The supply lines take a turn in and then turn toward the back in between body and frame.  Is it better to reroute the supply lines in the harness path for easier installation?

I'm doing this once in my lifetime so I want to do it right with all lines, grommets, hoses, hydraulics, and harnesses new.  I have everything ready to go but wanted to check on advice for the supply lines.  Thanks.
