Front LS1 SS braided brake line/hose options?

In my searching for front LS1 brake lines, I saw that some people used Earl's SS braided brake hose, but I couldn't find any part numbers. I have the front braided line that was leftover from my Earl's '85 Hyperfirm 4-wheel disc kit (#28A520ERL, bought before switching to LS1 brakes), so would I be able to use those hoses with the LS1 calipers? Or can I use Earl's '98-02 LS1 hoses?

You must use 3rd gen hoses, the 4th gens have a different fitting at the hose. The lines you mentioned should work just fine for you.
