Volume, no problem. They are 3/8" & 5/16", same size as LT1 (I will accept correction on the return line size, as I am going off fuzzy memory for that).
Pressure is not a problem for the hard lines. For any rubber under pressure, you'll want to change it out for EFI hose.

Also, just swap the sending unit with one from any EFI 3rd gen. Carb lines had hose clamps on both the feed and return. EFI systems operate at a pressure above what most clamps are rated at. EFI sending units have saginaw threaded fittings
