C6 cooling lines

I’m swapping from 300-6 to a 351w. The cooling lines for the 300 are on the passenger side of the radiator and drivers side of the v8. The bones from the donor were ruined at the transmission end. I grabbed them anyway. I plan to combine both with compression fittings. Does it matter which line goes to the top and which to the bottom? I plan to stagger the splices.

It probably does matter, but I could not tell you which goes where. Possibly someone has a picture or can look at their truck.

The hi-pressure supply line would connect to the top of the radiator, the return like to the bottom.

check inline tube and classic tube I cant remember which one but one of them sells pre formed transmission cooler lines. I was looking at them as if I installed an Auxiliary cooler they have the hard line pre bent for this setup. Would prevent me from having to chop my OE lines I can just remove them and install the new ones.
