You're right, the lines do cross at least once. I might have enough pictures from when I did my swap to fully trace them if you need that, but for your purposes I think the main thing is I can confirm that fluid leaves the transmission and flows out from the metal hard line that points to the right of the vehicle, then returns into the metal hard line that points to the left of the vehicle. In the picture below, the red arrow is the hot ATF from the transmission going to the cooler/rad, then the blue arrow is the cooled ATF returning. Good reminder for me to install the magnetic filter I've got sitting for this and the power steering.
I saw your other thread about the Wholesale Autos parts and transmission rebuild, very tempting for me to order some parts from them for mine. How was the shipping to Calgary? I'm also in Calgary, might see you and your cruiser some time!
