I did some research today on the braided hoses. Apparently the easiest thing to do is to cut the existing rubber hose as close to the firewall as possible and splice on the braided hose pieces. You can do the same thing on the other side of the firewall to if you like. But you will probably need to remove the glovebox to get access to the hoses. I've also been told that some of the heater cores may be plastic, so either way you don't want to put too much tension in the core connections trying to make the turns with the braided hoses...
