Well first I would warn you against wanting to do SS hoses. They look great at first but once they start getting dirty they look terrible.
Secondly, what it is going to cost you to do actual ss hoses is quite a bit. You'll need to buy several different adapters to go from using hose fitting, to AN fittings, like connecting the rad hoses to the radiator, and the heater hoses to the heater core.
You're best off buying a ss hose cover kit, where you just cover your existing hoses with a ss sleeve and then use fake AN worm clamps. It'll run you $50 or so, compared to somewhere around $300 and up to do actual SS lines.

That's true, but trying to do SS lines on a non race car is not going to look good either because of the adapters. You'll have a small section of hose connecting the radiator/heater core to the adapter that the AN fitting goes on.
