What I did is gently bend them downward toward the K-member, then ran the supply and return line across the front of it. I used aluminum line to make it easier to form. The last few inches were rubber to the mechanical pump.
I found some tie wrap mounts that popped into a 1/4" hole. I think I used 2 or 3 to hold the lines in place.
This is a nice place to run them away from engine and exhaust heat. They aren't unduly exposed, either. I ran it that way for 10 years (until I did the LS1 swap) without any issues.
