Clipped frame, Brake question

I was getting ready to plumb my brakes on the weekend, and then the worst thing that could possibly happen, happened......I started thinking

I have a 57, with a 78ish Nova front clip, a 4-link, a 10 bolt diff, and a Summit racing power brake master cylinder/booster kit mounted to the frame.

Looking at the stock Nova plumbing on the front suspension clip, I could use the stock flex hose-end bracket on the passenger side, and the hose-end, tube clamp bracket on the driver's side and instead of sending the tubes up to the firewall mounted master cylinder as was in the Nova, this clamp bracket would be a perfect mounting location for my Line-lock solenoid valve.

Here lies the issue... these brackets where the Nova flex hose meets the tubed lines are now the highest point of the brake line plumbing, as the master cylinder is mounted to the frame rail. will this be an issue for bleeding the brakes.

I am sure there are many "clipped" frames on this sight. what has been done that works? am I over thinking things like I always do?

Not sure how to insert a picture yet, but those that have done this will know what I am talking about.

Please help
Thanks
