Ck. You can connect lines using tubing/hose or get a compression fitting the right size for your tranny lines. I have successfully connected line both ways. Jus keep in mind you need a tight fit due to tranny fluid being so thin and finds places to leak easily.

The only sharp bends are at the trans. you can buy a cheap bending tool for $10, it may be harder to do but you won't have problems later.
