trans cooler line exhaust clearance

[jks67ss396]

Guys,

Trying to button up the 5.3/4l60e into my 71. Im using the trailerblazer manifolds. the stock lines (from a 04 tahoe 4l60e) are half an inch from the exhaust manifold.

Is that enough clearance or should i take them out and bend them? What would be the minimum clearance?

Also, i noticed that these lines do wobble just a bit when installed in the trans.

They install with these little clips and just push on... Is that wobble normal? Do you guys have any play in yours?

thanks guys!
