Finishing the plumbing on my twin 60mm 5.3L in an '86 K10... I will be running hardlines for the turbo oil feed and drain and I am wondering will I have any problems with compression fittings on the lines? How about using all NPT rather than AN?
I do alot of hardline grease systems and have all the stuff readily available (aka free).

Thanks for the help!
As long as size and setup of the lines are correct I don't see any issue...
