I have the gas tank almost buttoned up MY ARMS ARE NUMB lol from getting the hoses on. I have one more (Fuel Line) and my arms said NOPE! Will get it tomorrow. Some long angle pliers would be fantastic let me tell you!! And Then we are doing the cold start injector...Any thought on should I just bend the line out of the way?

Don't have time to read all post here today...
Quick ⚠️ Warning: Threads for most bolts are Metric. Not all bolts including like some parts in the steering column. Threads for plumbing is a mix of Metric and NPT is a SAE size.
Fuel line fittings w/ Viton O-rings is likely Metric. (Some seem 5/8" head but is 14mm head and one of few is same thing. more so 1/2" vs 13mm heads.)
All w/ Tapered Threads are NPT and use US standard pipe fittings etc. Many Sensors use SAE wrenches to fit w/o risk of rounding. Example: See my Cave, Sensors Quick Ref

No need to bend the piping. Disconnect the line at the CSI by removing bolt holding CSI and pull it out of manifold. It has an o-ring seal. Bend metal tab on out of the way and unscrew csi from the cold start piping. Then put CSI & bolt back in manifold to serve as a plug. If CSI is leaking it may suck in air and cause lean fuel mixture. If so go to plan "B".
Plan "B"... Remove CSI and screw it back onto csi piping that you saved. Cut piping an appropriate distance from CSI and install a rubber vacuum cap. Reassemble and Fold locking tab back in place.
