Don,

The brake lines are very easy to bend by hand.  Use the old brake line 
as a guide to bend the new brake line.  I usually do this on the floor 
comparing the two brake lines as I form the new one.  For tight bends 
use a broom stick or round pipe as a guide.

As for the 4 piece clutch kit, the kit usually contains the pressure 
plate, disk, throwout bearing and a clutch alignment tool.  Some times 
you can use a broom stick or 1"' x 1" (or appropriate size) soft pine 
stake as the clutch alignment tool.  Of course you might have to whittle 
it a bit to fit.
