Default Hose fittings AN Plumbing Flow rates

Designing my oil system plumbing and being dry sump there is a lot of plumbing, with components like oil cooler thermostat, remote filter etc.

I am using Aeroquip hose and full flow fittings. There are a few 90 degree fittings to keep it tidy etc, maybe in some areas I could get away with 45 degree fittings or even straight but the plumbing will have big bends in place and take up more room.
I am wondering if its worth trying to reduce the fitting angles to reduce flow loss, and if it really makes much difference with full flow fittings.

Running a Dailey engineering oil system I am using large -16 for the oil line to pump and scavenge to tank, the rest is -12 to T/stat, cooler, Filter, engine.
