I would follow Justins advice and splice in only as much as needed.
In our '89, the fitting under the rear seat was not a iso bubble but a standard double flare (unlike the rest the car). Worth checking out before you buy your new line.
If you cant find a pre-bent used line I would recommend some brake tube pliers. I've used PolyArmour (something like that) brake lines and they bent really well for me.
Autozone and O'Reilly both only tube flaring tools. They are advetised as "standard double flair" but they will create bubble flars as well. Google "bubble flare with double flare tool" to see how. Still, I would recommend using the tool as reccomended and making the union fittings double flare.
