Pretty good. Just a little massaging to the exact bends but not bad. Only a few issues were minor and as follows: 1) the rear frame rail line was too long, I think it was built for a 72 since it looked like a perfect fit for my 72 K20. The kit did say 71-72. 2) the fuel line was shorter than original but I think I can just use a bit longer flex line to the fuel pump. 3) the short lines up on the master cylinder aren't shaped the same. Overall still glad to have had the kit and will maybe buy one for my 72K20 unless one from inline tube would fit better. For reference to others, this kit was from The Right Stuff company.
