I have a question regarding the rear brake lines. I've posted a couple pics of how I think they should be connected to the wheel cylinders. Can anyone tell me if I have the lines hooked up correctly

IMO, you should have bent the new lines so they fit into the original clip holders. You want it nice and tight to the housing.
Here's my housing and lines

I would say the lines are not correctly running along the housing. Both left and right lines should snug the housing. Here's some pics I did with Shag's rear end.

Like Craig and Mark said : they should line up very close to the housing.
Those brake lines are gonna vibrate during driving causing brakeline failure. :steer
Nice and tight is the keyword to prevent vibrations of the lines.

thanks for the pics buckeye demon, exactly what I needed to see.
Some others seemed to think I already had the lines installed and was gona leave them hangin like that when really I was just making sure I had all the parts on the side of the driveshaft and things like that. I knew it was supposed to be snug cause thats how it was when I took it apart but I needed a pic to show the routing of lines.
